Good idea.  I dunno whether i ever filed a PR about the existing one,
but i've definitely meant to.  (reboot -> N messages.  reboot -> N
messages again.  reboot -> N messages again...  all from the same set
of files.  Bloody annoying.)

Assuming that that doesn't impair users' ability to get the files,
that's a good thing.

This type of thing is almost perfect for an rc.d scheme.  seems a
shame to drop that script -- it is pretty much a standalone script --
into the middle of rc...  makes versioning harder, etc.  8-)
