This patch adds support for starting and supervising multiple
services (run, task, or service) using an extra #ID number.
service #1 [2345] /sbin/httpd -f -h /http -p 80 -- Web server
service #2 [2345] /sbin/httpd -f -h /http -p 8080 -- Old web server
Also included in this patch is a fix for endless respawn of faulty
services. For instance, a buggy daemon that crashes repeatedly will now
be stopped after 10 respawns.

This patch adds support for adding and removing services from Finit at
runtime. Configuration file stanzas for service, run and task may now
be written to files in /etc/finit.d/*.conf, using the exact same syntax
as before in /etc/finit.conf. When a file is added, removed or modified
the user may simply SIGHUP Finit (PID 1) to activate the changes.

- Makefile fixes for installation, paths encoded wrong
- Strip binaries + .so files, support for $(CROSS) toolchain strip
- Default install is now to /sbin/finit and /usr/
- Use the 'plugindir' environemnt variable instead of 'PLUGIN_DIR'

finit.conf:
Use this as /etc/finit.conf on a Debian 6.0 based system with X
installed and sysklogd instead of rsyslogd. Works.
services:
Alternative method for extending the finit boot procedure. Simply
place this script file in an /etc/finit.d/ directory. The script
uses the standard run-parts tool to chain load other start scripts.
helpers.c:
o New functions:
- run(): home grown system() replacement
- run_interactive(): display progress and status when called
o Bugfix start_process(), make sure to use same signal setup for
children as in run() and run_interactive(). Also, use execvp()
instead of execv() to allow searching $PATH for executables.
finit.h:
o Move signal specific code to new signal.h.
o Bypass verbosity setting to let echo() always print to screen.
finit.c:
o Make run_parts() the default, remove external deps, it works.
o Use run() and run_interactive() to speed up execution further
on embedded systems where forking is expensive.
o Kernel cmdline "quiet" should not close STDIO since this makes
it impossible to run some daemons and start scripts. Instead,
we let "quiet" toggle the finit verbosity setting.
o Remove kernel cmdline "--verbose" (Upstart compat), to be used
to enable verbose finit when kernel should be quiet.
o Setup kernel specific settings in /etc/sysctl.conf
o Fix D-Bus startup problems. Probably what caused X from not
working initially. Silly rabbit.
o Use system() workaround to start X, cannot get it to start
at all using run() or run_interactive() at the moment.
signal.h:
New file, header file for signal.c. Was about time.
signal.c:
Remove blocking of SIGCHLD from sig_setup(), instead we setup
SIGCHLD early in sig_init() to handle fork() in run() & C:o.
