  Description     : a Bitfrost isolation shell

Rainbow is an isolation shell based on the Bitfrost threat model, as
used in the OLPC and elsewhere.

At the moment, Rainbow only knows how to provide the same primitive form
of filesystem and signal isolation that competent sysadmins provide to
users of multi-user Unix shell servers.
