The FreeBSD daemontools port is at version 0.53 (which doesn't have
svscan). Because of the changes in program names and so forth, the
previous maintainer got a bit irritated and didn't upgrade it. I'm
currently responsible for upgrading it. (if anyone has some wrapper
scripts that emulate the old commands, now is the time to pipe up
*grin*)

If you're unable to wait a day or two, it won't kill you if you install
it manually. I should get around to upgrading it tomorrow, if not in
the next few hours.
