See my message on -hackers, "Sparc/Linux patch" thing follow-up.

The bottom line is that, IMHO, writing a portable init.d style (or any
other such concept) startup file that is ready for blind use is beyond
practicality.  It might be better to collect a few of the ones that are
being used now (Red Hat-style, SuSE-style, Debian, *BSD-style) and ship
them.  This should be coordinated with the packagers, though.

I'll try to look into it.

Should I remove init.d from /contrib?
