I was informed that the previous explanation of the devfs changes could
be interpreted to mean that we mount a second /dev on top of the one
that was mounted by the kernel or initramfs. This change makes it clear
that is not the case.

This was requested by Debian, because the minicom software, which is
available on Debian and other distros, has a binary named runscript. We
are keeping a backward compatibility symlink for now, but this allows
Debian or any other distro to safely remove the symlink.

Debian requested this rename due to the "rc" binary conflicting with the
"rc" binary from the plan 9 shell.
We also add a deprecation warning to the binary when it is run as rc to
encourage users to switch to openrc instead.

It has been determined that it will be best for gentoo's net.* scripts
to be in a separate package to allow independent development.
This package will be called netifrc and maintained by Gentoo.
This directory will contain tools which are not necessary for OpenRC to
run, but which some users have found useful.
The first of these is deptree2dot, which converts /run/openrc/deptree to
a .dot file for use with graphviz. This can assist in finding circular
dependencies.
The OpenRC upstream default network stack was changed, but there was no
reason to change it. Now since we have the MKNET build switch, it is
easy for the gentoo ebuild to install oldnet by default.
The upstream default is newnet.
The MKNET variable can be used to select the network stack you want to
build and install with OpenRC.
The current default is the gentoo "oldnet" stack. If you want to install
the OpenRC newnet stack, use MKNET=newnet on the make command line.
This reverts commit 5994e55937.
There are situations where these scripts can be useful, so I am bringing
them back. Also, I want to start discussions about simplifying the
OpenRC network stack.
The MKSTATICLIBS switch, which defaults to yes, controls whether or not
static libraries are built and installed.

These scripts are not supported, and they have several major design
issues such as not being able to stop, start or allow a dependency on a
single interface.
This allows the default value of rc_sys to be set when openrc is
compiled. This will allow openrc to be installed, e.g. on vserver guests
and will allow them to be rebooted without the need to edit rc.conf.
This patch is a combined effort between myself and Robin Johnson.

Update the documentation to state that openrc only works with gnu make.
This needs to be done in order to address the parallel build issue.
