Hey Federico,

I've committed some fixes to the branch to make it actually build.
After that, I played for 5 minutes with testfilechooser. The general
functionality of hiding out-of-root stuff seems to work fine, but the
completion in the entry has issues. When "rooted to $HOME and /tmp", I
found that typing '/' would still complete all toplevel directories,
while typing '/t' comes up with no completions. I would have expected
just '/tmp' in both cases.
