the code to the makefiles which included them using make's conditional

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.

Hopefully we can add a few examples to satisfy most of the old net.lo, which
is no longer installed into boot by default.
query runlevels, services and state without using bash. We also provide
libeinfo so other programs can easily use our informational functions.
As such, we have dropped the requirement of using bash as the init script
shell. We now use /bin/sh and have strived to make the scripts as portable
as possible. Shells that work are bash and dash. busybox works provided
you disable s-s-d. If you have WIPE_TMP set to yes in conf.d/bootmisc you
should disable find too.
zsh and ksh do not work at this time.
Networking support is currently being re-vamped also as it was heavily bash
array based. As such, a new config format is available like so
config_eth0="1.2.3.4/24 5.6.7.8/16"
or like so
config_eth0="'1.2.3.4 netmask 255.255.255.0' '5.6.7.8 netmask 255.255.0.0'"
We will still support the old bash array format provided that /bin/sh IS
a link it bash.
ChangeLog for baselayout-1 can be found in our SVN repo.
