I started with the idea of changing just enough of the included init script
to get the daemon running.  I am used to the RedHat/Fedora sysv init
system, not the debian/start-stop-daemon style.  I didn't want to snag some
other init file using start-stop-daemon, replace a variable, and submit it
as my own work.  I'd rather learn the nuances of start-stop-daemon and
write a script that I understand and works as expected.

After testing a few other packages, I noticed quite a few that don't have
init scripts.  Is this by design?  I'd like to add the ability to generate
an initscript within the buildroot system.  something like
$PACKAGE_GENERATE_AND_INSTALL_SYSV_INIT_SCRIPT = YES # with a shorter name
though :)
in the package.mk file that would use a template to create a working init
script. And a global toggle in makemenu -> Build Options to
enable/disable.  yes? no? maybe?
