Thus spake Michael G. Schabert ("MGS> ") sometime Today...

X11 binaries should not be called except by xdm, xinit, etc...

That presents a small catch-22 in the case of how to get xdm started,
don't you think?

/etc/rc.d/xdm comes somewhere after mountall in the grand scheme
of things...

Perhaps /etc/rc.d/local should run after mountall, in which it
sources ${PKGBASE}/etc/rc.conf, runs rcorder on ${PKGBASE}/etc/rc.d,
runs those scripts and returns control to whatever comes after
/etc/rc.d/local.

...or maybe it does that already, but I don't think so.
