That's fine. But I don't think it should be detected via a magic
environment variable, but requested explicitly. Something like
"--with-rc-style=pkgsrc". This is useful for other platforms where more
than one solution exists and e.g. on Linux it might indead be a better
choice to still keep the sysv init scripts.
