some clarification is in order, but first, after a major cleanup
[mergemaster no longer works on a cross platform/version], the above problem
is now fixed.
Since we have multiple platforms (amd64/i386) and versions (4.10/5.x/6.x/7.x)
and /usr/local is automounted, it's easier to manage the start up scripts
from a more central area,  not /usr/local/etc/rc.d (of which we have many 
copies),
also, not all our local stuff comes from ports.

I can't remember which script fell in the 'not-yet-done/allready-done' black 
hole,
but it was not from ports, and rather critical.
