Hi all,
just as reminder and note esp. for those running 1.2 systems and willing
to update to 1.4 in the future. HEAD from today on doesn't depend on RC
script having the DragonFly keyword anymore. This means that old RC
scripts in /etc/rc.d will be executed, if they are still present.
Please keep that in mind if you don't run "make update" before
rebooting into a new world.

On the other hand, it removes the need to copy/link RC scripts under
/usr/local/etc/rc.d (ports) or /usr/pkg/etc/rc.d (pkgsrc), it even
allows proper dependency handling e.g. for daemons.

Joerg
