Thanks for the review, Daniel !

So if we don't need to take older LXC implementations in account,
everything is indeed much simpler :)

I wasn't aware of the page you mentioned, but I did notice RHEL6 and
upcoming debian 7 both set this "container" environment variable. I was
just worried to also catch legacy implementations.

I'll post an updated patch(set) to the list in a couple of minutes.

Cheers,
Marc
