Greetings,

	As previously discussed, here is a first draft of the rc* script mods. I
consider the first step in this process to be Jordan's cleanup of the
variable syntax. This is step 2, which most notably converts test's dealing
with variables to case wherever possible. It also does the following. 

1. -f -> -r wherever it makes sense
2. value ) instead of value) for case statements
3. All cases of [, test, ; then, etc. converted to:

if [ blah ]; then

4. Made 
# Comment
#
commands more consistent

5. Stripped whitespace off the end of a few lines

	The attached diff is to rc, and was generated with -ubB to ease
understanding of the substantive changes. You can view the actual file at
http://gorean.org/rc. I would appreciate y'all reviewing these changes for
style, substance, or anything else relevant to the matter at hand. My hope
is that any modifications can be discussed prior to my doing the rest of
the work, which I plan to tackle this weekend. There are also a few
questions sprinkled into the file, comments or suggestions on those are
welcome. 

	This version of the file is tested lightly, which is to say that I booted
with it after my upgrade to the most recent sources on -current tonight.
Obviously more rigorous testing will be necessary before this gets
committed, although the changes are extremely straightforward. 

Questions:

1. Under what circumstances would $early_nfs_mounts be set? The only
mention of this variable that I could find is in /etc/rc, and I can't see
where it would be set. 

2. Do we want to move to 'logger' instead of echo for the various little
statements in the rc* files during boot? I for one would highly recommend
this change, since it makes remote administration TONS easier. However the
last time it came up I seem to remember it being one of those "religious"
issues... 

3. Anything else I should be looking at in this phase of the game? 

Thanks,

Doug
