We should do the following in a single commit:
(1) Remove the RCD_SCRIPTS_EXAMPLEDIR variable altogether.
(2) Remove the auto-entries into the PLIST.
(3) Sweep through pkgsrc and add the rc.d scripts manually into the
existing PLISTs as "share/examples/rc.d/<script>".
If no one is working on this, I'll do it this Friday after I've
committed my refcount changes.
