It works well for NetBSD scripts, but what about people dropping
	in third party rc.d scripts?
	
	One not entirely clean option might be to set 'RC_SHUTDOWN' in
	the environment and run with a "stop" arg, and the scripts can
	key off that.

	No perfect solution :(

	I'm probably inclined to keep "shutdown" as its cleaner, but we
	need to be aware of the third part issue...
