chroot handling from outside.

 I think a better solution is to use a different log file when using a
custom installroot, so maybe they'd be happy with a --logfile cmd line
option?
well, when we're operating on a chroot that's already existent we write
to $chroot/var/log/yum.log

if the chroot isn't there, yet, we write to /var/log/yum.log so that it
gets recorded somewhere.
This might be the real problem. What about either just create $chroot/var/log/yum.log when needed (might turn out to be fishy) or complain if it isn't accessible and exit.

This "yeah, we logged it... somewhere" thing is asking for trouble.

the complaint I've heard is:
 "we make chroots and immediately destroy them but we still want a log
of what went on"

cp?
