It uses lxc-list to get the list of containers. I guess I might as well 
post a link to it here: http://irc.jonathancarter.org/files/rlxc/rlxc

I would've put it on github or something but it's definitely going to be 
abandoned for a python version that uses liblxc.

I'm secretly hoping that Stéphane will just do all of that :p

It's a long weekend for me this weekend and it's already quite loaded, 
but I think I'll spend at least a little time on starting on a nice new 
script that uses liblxc for everything that gives pretty output :)
