Knowing that yum-1.x is not interesting beyond a maintenance 
mode to seth, I took a run at backporting the '--installroot=' 
option.  There were not too many edits, but the code 
reorganization for yum-2 into rpmUtils.py was beyond my meager 
python skills.   Knowing that I need to work on them, has 
anyone solved a backport of that option into yum-1.x ?
