It means "a script that runs qmail-start, either directly or
indirectly".

It could be either. For LWQ installs, I'd recommend neither. I'd
create a /var/qmail/supervise/qmail-pop3d (and /var/log/qmail/pop3d)
hierarchy modelled after /var/qmail/supervise/qmail-smtpd and I'd
modify the /usr/local/sbin/qmail script to handle the pop3
service. The next rev of LWQ will likely include these changes.
