Removed all Chroot stuff.
Removed download dir and fixed that into the anonftp dir so that the project
files could both be downloaded through ftp and http.
I also fixed the anon-ftp login.
I put the cvsroot as /cvsroot as changing that means a lot more recoding and
text editing, if that is to be then it has to be a sepperate phase.
I also removed hardcoded paths where I could in the code I was editing.

Comment:
please elaborate the reason for this patch ... i'm not seeing why this would be
beneficial? (not that i really have any say in the package, i'm just trying to
understand :) ... the chroot'd envrionment allows for greater security of your
user accounts, the FTP server (can't get to system files), etc... also makes it
easy to put all SF user accounts on their own partition, or separate
partitions, without mucking about in /home (which is more for *local* users)
... also makes offsite backup more convenient (just tar up the chroot space) ...
