The pivot_root applet is already in the CVS tree, and, since
BB_FEATURE_INIT_CHROOT was not working I axed it from the source tree when I
checked in pivot_root.  I'd be willing to put such code back into init some
time, based on pivot_root.  But for now I figured it was back to axe that code
since it didn't work anyways.
