That sounds good. Would you be able to post a patch to do this?
Though really, my example showed crazy things we need to worry about
users doing, but in reality I think you're better off having all
your scripts in one directory, having the scripts use the passed
in info (over argv and env in the scripts), and then maybe even
putting the list of hooks to run into a config exerpt that gets
#included from the containers

And if you had this, you'd be able to simply use lxc-start without
the -s? That sounds worthwhile then.
Can you show us an example of a pre-parsed config, and the final
executed lxc-start command?

lxc.include exists now. Does that suffice?
