I like the notion that everything in /usr/local is self-contained in
/usr/local and as such, all the startup stuff should only rely on the
/etc/rc.subr at most. I just had a good notion that maybe there should be
a /usr/local/etc/rc.d/rc.conf (or something similar). Packages (with the
notable exception of X) should avoid putting stuff into /etc, it makes
people that nfs mount /usr/local a real PITA.
