I really don't care if the scripts use the rc.subr functions or not.

However, some guidelines should be followed:
	* the scripts should support at least
		start stop
	* the scripts probably should support (if appropriate)
		restart reload status
	* the scripts should be installed +x
	* the scripts shouldn't end in `.sh' once installed because
	  that indicates to run_rc_script that the script should be
	  sourced into the current environment rather than run in a
	  subshell. Very few scripts need to run in the current
	  environment (e.g, fsck.sh does because it might need to exit
	  and stop the boot process)

I'm sure I'll think of other guidelines when I hopefully get a chance to
write up the documentation later this week.
