These files have been in the distribution for some time but haven't been
installed. They are good examples of how to do things, so we should
install them.
In the past, OpenRC was a hybrid of a centralized and file-scope
license/copyright structure.
I followed the instructions from the Software Freedom Law Center [1] to
convert to a Centralized structure where possible, for easier future
maintenance.

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.
On prefix systems, RC_SVCDIR was being defined based on the host
operating system. This is not correct because there will not be a /run
directory in a prefix.
This commit moves RC_SVCDIR on prefix systems to the same location as on
non-Linux systems.
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.
If you are not using linux, this should not affect you.
If you are using linux, from this point forward, openrc requires the
/run directory to be a mounted tmpfs. If it is, you can run
@LIBEXECDIR@/sh/migrate-to-run.sh as root to migrate your dependency
tree and state information to the new location. If it is not, you must
create the /run directory as root with permissions 755 then reboot your
system.

Our sysctl script has read from /etc/sysctl.d/ but the directory was not
created by default, and we didn't document it.

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.
The main makefile, init.d/Makefile and src/librc/Makefile all contain
several shell calls which can be handled as make conditionals. This
switches them to conditionals.
This reworks the shell calls in the makefiles to use immediate
evaluation and should improve parallel building.

This changes the local service so that it will run programs located in
@sysconfdir@/local.d instead of the local_start and local_stop functions
from @sysconfdir@/conf.d/local.
The advantage for the user is that these programs are not part
of the openrc package, so the user does not have to worry about them
being overwritten when openrc is upgraded.

OpenRC version is now stored as plaintext in /libexec/rc/version
Plugins (cursplash, splashutils) will have to be re-compiled to pickup
the new directories. State data needs to be moved from /lib/rc/init.d
to /libexec/rc/init.d as well.
