And add in /lib/lsb/initd_functions (either by symlink if it is extended
to account for all of the functions, or by separate file) and LSB headers.

I didn't get a chance to install yet, but did a quick walk through, and
barring any simple errors, they look good, nice and clean too. More time
tomorrow hopefully. Suggestions: need to add LSB headers to all of the
scripts -- even though they are not LSB scripts (and LSB does not
require them to be), we still need to be able to track the dependencies
in order to use the LSB tools {install,remove}_initd if you still want
to go after LSB as a possible goal to be completed in BLFS. Boot logging
would be a major request by me as it's been requested several times in
the past. Every distro provides this now and it might be expected by
some users (especially nice to have on headless systems). Also, since
if{up,down} will be system tools, they need to have help text added at
very least on error...but wait to see what happens when/if the single
config is done.
