Ew.  Why doesn't this default to $LOCALBASE/etc/rc.d and *enabled* so that
binary packages get something half decent and usable for automatic
inclusion?  I'd really rather not have my rcorder dirs include
/usr/pkg/share/examples/<anything>....

(Or to put it another way:  Why is it even possible to disable copying these
files to an etc/ rooted working directory?  Much like CONF_FILES, they
should always be copied, even if the copy destination path is configurable.)
