since /usr/pkg/etc/rc.d/* can't be used because that directory might not
exist until it is mounted (mountcritlocal? mountcritremote?), obviously
none of the pkgsrc additions can be used before then either..

would it be more useful to add options to rcorder:

	-h name		halt at <name>
	-r name		resume from <name>

so that, for example we could pause and rescan the list, thus:

files=$(rcorder -s nostart -h pkgsrc ${rc_rcorder_flags} /etc/rc.d/*)

for _rc_elem in $files; do
	run_rc_script $_rc_elem start
done

files=$(rcorder -s nostart -r pkgsrc ${rc_rcorder_flags} /etc/rc.d/* /usr/pkg/etc/rc.d/* /usr/local/etc/rc.d/*)

for _rc_elem in $files; do
	run_rc_script $_rc_elem start
done


or have I missed a pitfall?
