Supposed you put $PREFIX/etc/rc.d into root's search path
or if you are in the directory $PREFIX/etc/rc.d
then b) would have the advantage, that you can simply use
the start/stop script even if its disabled (by name xxx.sh.sample)
for the boot process.
	xxx.sh.sample (start|stop|restart)
would work for the first tests.
I think this is more comfortable without loosing the level of
control you want after having installed the application port freshly.
