Well, for something to be installed it is a bit too much of a hack :)
E.g. it should get at least the following changes:
- /etc/rc.d should not be hard-coded
- complain about scripts without PROVIDE
- different edge styles for BEFORE and REQUIRE

But if others consider it useful enough, I can adopt that. It doesn't
even have to move for that.
