IMHO it is better to set HAS_RC_SCRIPT to either YES or NO. 
Therefore, the RC-script is named after the package and that way
we have a consistent naming for RC-scripts. In other respects I see
people naming their RC-scripts "foobar". ;-)

I think that we should have the configuration file for package RC-scripts
in ${PREFIX}/etc, not /etc.
