    No wait, I take it back.  There is a chaining script already in
    our /etc/rc.d called /etc/rc.d/localdaemons.

    It isn't picking up the scripts because they do not have a .sh suffix.

    Sigh, that bites us in the ass again.  It was a bad idea to have 
    non-.sh and .sh RC scripts.

    I am going to fix this in HEAD... that is, allow script directories
    listed in local_startup (/usr/pkg/etc/rc.d, /usr/local/etc/rc.d, etc)
    to not have a .sh option, but I just don't know whether it is a good
    idea to put in -RELEASE.  It could generate unintended side effects.
