Hi,

we need a feature to kill the build if the free disk (or memory) space is running low.
I am attaching a preliminary patch, that implements this feature, it applies cleanly
against the pbuilder in unstable (and also against the git version).

Documentation needs to be written, but before I do so, I wanted to check if 
you'd accept such a patch at all. What do you think about it?

If you like it, I'll polish it some more, include documentation and send a new patch.
If you don't like it - what is the right way to get this feature in pbuilder?

Thanks,
Ondrej
