turned on the option rc_debug="YES" and ran 'dmesg -a'... the script 
doesn't even show up in the list anywhere.  are we not supposed to be 
able to write custom rcNG scripts?  is there something i'm overlooking 
where i need to register httpd_start in the rc stuff?  here's my newbie 
impression of how rc works:
- rc i run by init
- rc runs rcorder on all script directories.
- rc reads rc.conf and runs all scripts found by rcorder
rcorder recognizes the script i wrote without any errors... yet when i 
boot the system, there is no "checkyesno" for httpd_start.  there's 
nothing that references the script at all... WHY? >.<

why did FreeBSD have to adopt this standard anyhow?  it seems 
unnecessarily complicated to write custom scripts now.
