I think a lot of this is a moot point, given that rc.shutdown,
rcorder, and the rc.d scripts have been enhanced so that only scripts
with:
	# KEYWORD: shutdown
in them are shutdown (currently, cron, xdm & inetd); everything else
just relies upon SIGTERM at the end.

If this change isn't backed out it must at least be changed so that
there is no timeout by default.
