So this is always described in the README on my website, see e.g.
http://www.mirandabanda.org/files/Cog/VM/VM.r3006/README.3006.  I *could*
put checks in the VM that saw if the kernel was >- 2.6.13 and whether
/etc/security/limits.d/VM.conf existed and issue a more helpful error
message.  But this is work and I feel like the README should be sufficient.
 What do y'all think?
