Please coordinate with Hurd author Thomas Bushnell, BSG <tb@mit.edu>.
He is thinking of such a beast for the Hurd, and he can share you his
ideas (and in fact, chances are that Debian GNU/Hurd would use this setup
right from the beginning).
(the hurd currently uses a primitive BSD style and has no runlevel concept)
(I am in progress of porting sort-of sysvinit to the hurd as an interim
solution, but a makefile style'ish setup is the long term goal).
Thanks,
Marcus
