Public bug reported:
Adding option '-o -d $(pwd)' to the 'vmbuilder' command line results in
the current directory and its contents being completely erased; after a
while the scripts fails anyway because `getcwd()` reports error.
This is a dangerous thing to do: 'vmbuilder' should explicitly refuse
check that the argument to '-d' is *not* the current directory and
refuse to start otherwise.
Also, I think that it should be better explained what the argument to
'-d' is expected to be, and what is the combined effect of '-o' and
'-d'.
