Enable LXDM using:
initctl enable lxdm
initctl reload
The latter command reloads all /etc/finit.d/*.conf files and starts lxdm
in runlevels 2-5.
Remember to first edit /etc/lxdm/lxdm.conf, necessary to get a session.

This patch enables support for bootstrap services in /etc/finit.d/
Please note, however, that this does not mean that all configuration
directives are now allowed in /etc/finit.d/*.conf -- the intention is
only to simplify distribution setups.

Restore original file layout somewhat, it's better if we clear the space
at the end of the file for easy `cat BOOTSTRAP.conf >>/etc/finit.conf`

Finit now supports pipes and redirects in run/task stanzas. Hence, we
can reduce rc.local to an example template.

A run stanza blocks operation by calling waitpid(), so it will never be
caught by the service_monitor() function. Hence, we need to clean up
any bootsrap calls after waitpid(), or at least perform a manual state
change.

This patch extends the capabilities of task and run .conf stanzas by
enabling pipes and redirects.
Example:
task [s] echo "foo" | cat >/tmp/bar
run [s] echo "$HOME" >/tmp/secret

This patch aligns the two tty configuration stanzas, thus clear and wait
are now the default for both.
tty [LVLS] <DEV> [BAUD] [noclear] [nowait] [TERM]
tty [LVLS] <CMD> <ARGS> [noclear] [nowait]

This patch makes it possible to disable the "Please press Enter" prompt
when using an external getty. Simply append `nowait` to the .conf entry
and Finit will spawn the getty immediately.
A future patch will add support for `noclear` as well to external getty,
as well as a change in default (=> `wait`) for the built-in getty.

It is strongly recommended to instead use the service stanza to start
XDM/GDM, or use startx after a regular login.
Note: the `user NAME` setting was always reserved for use with startx
