It's quite common to need to copy files out of the devshell back to your<br>
layers, but most of the variables referring to such paths are not exported<br>
(and in some cases, should not be, as it'll affect buildsystems we run, e.g.<br>
TOPDIR/BUILDDIR). To resolve this while still making it easier to get files<br>
out of the devshell, create a ${WORKDIR}/topdir symlink to ${TOPDIR}, removing<br>
it after exiting the devshell.<br>

I think this is a decent alternative, if not a pretty one.
