Great!
The supported features and syntax should be discussed more.
For example, it can't set rcopts, just print them, as I can see.
And I disagree with bapt@ and bdrewery@.
IMO default place should be /etc/rc.conf. This behaviour could be
controlled by some key. You already introduced '-s' key there. I like
it!
Finally, If a $service rcopts are already set in some file, this tool
should use that file to supplement them.
