The sandbox is not 100% useful if we cannot contribute some functions/modules to it.

I've started yesterday a fork (but did not push any code yet to github) to use [broadway](https://github.com/flatiron/broadway) as a plugin system. I think I'd also like to use either node-0.6 child api or [node*fork](https://github.com/stolsma/node-fork) as a fallback for exchanging between sandbox and shovel.

I've notably moved the "console" available in the sandbox as a plugin. I'd also like to provide some great control over the sandbox (set cpu/memory limits, chroot, etc.) for posix platforms thanks to a plugin based on [node-posix](https://github.com/melor/node-posix).

Are you interested in such a patch, and will you maintain the result actively, or should I fork the project, rename it and publish it on my own ?
