	What I do is copy any 3rd party rc.d scripts to /etc/rc.d.local, then
make links from /etc/rc.d to /etc/rc.d.local.  That gives me the features
I need:  
	3rd party scripts are easily identifyable
	3rd party scripts are present at system startup
	I can modify the scripts without "pkg_admin check" complaining.
	All scripts are in the same place so I can do /etc/rc.d/foo reload
		without having to think about where it's installed.
