The 'use chroot' flag is a fairly reliable source of confusion,
because it fails under two important circumstances: running as
non-root, running on Win32 (or possibly others). On the other hand,
if you are running as root, then it might be better to always use
chroot.
So, perhaps if we can't chroot we should just issue a warning, unless
a "require chroot" flag is set, in which case we fail.
