Location of the passwd file, if we are in a chroot, it will use the chroot'd 
version, otherwise you need to tell pseudo where it is.

This controls how the symlinks are populated from the point of view of 
non-pseudo environment.  If you intend to manipulate the results (and make them 
useful) -outside- of the pseudo environment, you need this.  If you do all of 
your operations from within pseudo, the defaults are correct.  Otherwise you can 
get links such as "/bin/sh -> /bin/bash" and it points to the host's bash, not 
the chroot's /bin/bash.

>> +        populate_script += "export PSEUDO_DISABLED=0;"

This shouldn't have to be set, unless the disabled has been previously set in 
the environment.
