Well, there are ways around that, certainly.  Consider for a moment
the fact that nobody seemed to be all that keen to continue extending
sysconfig or the other /etc files, either, and we're quickly running
out of possible options to *debate* here!  It's not like there are
that many different approaches available to us - either we code
implicit knowledge of our ports tree into our system startup files
(current approach) or we enhance the "rendevous" mechanism enough that
we don't have to.  Are the X ports your only concern?  We could take
Paul's suggestion and enhance it a little bit, e.g. rather than being a
directory it could now be a list of directories:

	local_startup=/usr/local/etc/rc.d /usr/X11R6/etc/rc.d

OK?
