I think this is a great idea.  This lets people use init.d if they want, but
you can still use /etc/rc.local if that's what you prefer.

I've seen /etc/rc.conf used in OSF/1; once I got used to it, it wasn't that
bad at all.  (Actually, wasn't /etc/rc.conf a shell script that just set
a bunch of variables, and the various scripts just used ". /etc/rc.conf"
to pull those variables in?)
