We don''t have any virtualenv support, and we have recently rejected
similar changes to the yum provider to install to an alternate root.

My strong inclination is to think that, like the rvm/gems, and yum or
rpm / installroot options we don''t have a good model for this yet.

Moving forward would require someone proposing a good change to the
model - the package type - that would cleanly map to the required
semantics of each of the various implementations of these things.
