Optware doesn't use /opt/etc/rc.d/..., so I doubt that Michael is 
talking about Optware.

However, as a note to Michael, there are a number of people who do use 
Optware packages on OpenWrt devices.  This is just a note that your 
proposed scheme for managing things in /opt will conflict with the usage 
of Optware by those OpenWrt users.  As Oliver says, Optware is not 
supported by OpenWrt (it's supported by developers who use Optware and 
are also OpenWrt users and developers), so there is nothing stopping you 
going ahead with creating such a collision for those users who use both 
OpenWrt and Optware.  If you do choose to go ahead, I'd like to work 
with you to try and make the two schemes interoperable (or at least not 
conflicting).

You can find more information about Optware at:

There are over 1000 packages for each of 26 embedded platforms 
(including two specific openwrt platforms) at:

   http://ipkg.nslu2-linux.org/feeds/optware/

Any open source project is welcome to use any of the patches or other 
files from the Optware source repository at:
