That's really cool!

I've noticed that when running in a chroot-like environment, sometimes
programs expect certain files to exist that don't - for example, device
files in /dev, procfs files in /proc, or even things like
/etc/resolv.conf.  Does this wrapper automatically create those kinds of
files, or would programs that want to access those kinds of files still
need some special love on an case-by-case basis?
