I've got no attachment to the Gentoo implementation. One con is it's not
that lightweight. The pros were that it's flexible and already designed
for OpenRC. I wanted such a thing for a system I was setting up
remotely, and that's what I found, so I thought I'd pass it on.

I'll have a look at the Fedora implementation instead, when I get a
chance. I used to use Arch, and they had something like that.

Sorry about the cleanup needed for the other patches. I didn't bump the
pkgrels because it seemed too presumptive! :-)
