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.
