Running
-------
Run loolwsd for instance like this, to run it the way it is supposed
to eventually be run "for real":
Now you need to set up a minimal chroot system, and directory for the jails:
./setup-sys-chroot <SYSTEMPLATE> <MASTER>/instdir
mkdir <ROOTFORJAILS>
To run loolwsd the way it is supposed to eventually be run "for real", you can
now do:
./loolwsd --systemplate=<SYSTEMPLATE> --lotemplate=<MASTER>/instdir --childroot=<ROOTFORJAILS>

(echo load /some/where/foo.odt; echo tile width=500 height=500 tileposx=0 tileposy=0 tilewidth=10000 tileheight=10000; sleep 10) |
./loolwsd --test --systemplate=/home/tml/lo/master/lool-sys-template --lotemplate=/home/tml/lo/master/instdir --childroot=/home/tml/lo/master/lool-child-root
Debugging
---------
When debugging, you want to add --numprespawns=1 to the loolwsd parameters to
limit the amount of concurrently running processes.
When the crash happens too early, you also want to
export SLEEPFORDEBUGGER=<number of seconds>
so that you have time to attach to the process.
Then run loolwsd, and attach your debugger to the process you are interested
in.

- You can easily get loolwsd running in a busy loop when a child crashes
Instead, we should just re-steart the child
- Make child processes time out and go away when inactive for a while.
- Make the "load" request actually take an URL, not a file name. (But
