The FreeBSD project has made up their minds that from 7.0 forward,
rc.d scripts will be installed without the .sh suffix.  They are also
working on getting this working for 6.1+, as long as it doesn't break
anything. Also we still need to support rc.d scripts for 4.x, 5.x and
6.0, so the .sh suffix needs to be appended for those systems.
