>Description:
- sysutils/smartmontools doesn't honor PKG_SYSCONFDIR
- the example rc.d script explicitly sets smartd_flags="-p $pidfile" which
  is overwritten if the user sets smartd_flags in his rc config

While fixing the rc.d script I added the `check' command: it sends SIGUSR1
to smartd and thus lets it immediately check disk status.
>How-To-Repeat:
- use a non-default PKG_SYSCONFBASE, install sysutils/smartmontools and
  wonder why it doesn't read smartd.conf
- set e.g. smartd_flags='-l local0' in /etc/rc.conf and wonder why smartd
  doesn't write the pidfile on startup anymore
>Fix:
I'll apply the patch to the PR asap; it will be available from
http://salmi.ch/~jukka/pkgsrc/smartmontools_5.32.patch
