is 'anybox' a good name for the virtual provider? What happens if we have a new 
suite of core utility replacements without box in the name, I assume it will be 
a nightmare to retroactivly change the name so we should probably come up with a 
more generic one now. virtual/core-utils, virtual/base-utils?

Cheers,
Jack.
