The former (call netcf) is problematic in that many netcf functions

netcf doesn't have provisions for a test mode where changes made to the
config aren't committed.
The ncf_init call takes a 'root' argument which determines what netcf
considers the fs root ('/' by default) It won't ever touch files outside
of that root, i.e. you can use that to set up a sandbox.
There's one smallwrinkle in that it will run iptables unconditionally
(which fails if you don't run your tests as root) - but I could change
the code to not do that.
