 The idea was to make enabling/disabling services less error-prone. It
 don't need to catch _all_ corner cases, because if administrator do
 something unusual with startup configuration he should be able to
 manipulate it in proper way, or even have tools that do something
 similar.
 Proposed patch handles /etc/rc.conf, /etc/rc.conf.local and
 /etc/rc.conf.d/* properly (I hope), so it should fit nicely in 95% of
 cases.
 Doing `service someserive enable` is much faster and less error-prone
 that `service someservice rcvar ; echo someservicercvar_enable=YES >>
 /etc/rc.conf`
