The beauty of shell scripts is that we can put in hooks for an
/etc/rc.conf and an /etc/netstart.conf and let the user choose whether
or not to use the /etc/netstart.conf.

As far as /etc/rc.local.conf goes, IMHO there shouldn't be an
/etc/rc.local in the distribution.  Now that we have rc.conf, we ought
to be able to move everything into /etc/rc and let rc.local be, well,
local.
