Ok, but this will hurt then.  I certainly was going to keep the
extra args, but they would be shifted now.  We can pass along an
environment variable saying something like LXC_SIMPLE_ARGS=1 or
something, but your unmodified script won't know to look for
that so will do the wrong thing.  Any ideas?

This unfortunately basically means that you are in fact a "user",
and that makes this seem like at best 3.0  material then, unless
we can find a good solution.

Maybe a configuration key 'lxc.hooks.version=2' ?

Thanks for replying!
