Comment (by zooko):

 Is there a sufficiently convenient way to ask your operating system to
 deny networking to a given subprocess while still allowing it for your
 other processes? That would be useful not only for building Tahoe-LAFS,
 but any other package that you wanted to build. It is important to note
 that this would not be an attempt to prevent a malicious process from
 communicating, it would only be preventing an honest but imprudent process
 from downloading packages.
