Modern systems today use a RAM disk for /run and /run/lock, with
symlinks to the FHS locations in /var/run and /var/lock. See the

This patch adds protection against a common inetd attack vector wherein
the reply port to UDP inetd services is forged to an internal inetd
service port.

This patch replaces the old 'initctl emit <EV>' idea with a more
full blown condition generator:
initctl cond <set|clear|flux> <COND>
This aligns better with terminology used elsewhere in the new Finit
service state machine and dependency handling already documented.
The 'flux' sub-command is mostly intended for simulation/test of
Finit itself and should perhaps not be documented.

This is a first effort at cleaning up and consolidating all information
about the new service state machine and how conditions control this
state machine.
Also, clarified and added sections for all documents regarding how
services and conditions relate.

Some vendors provide their own Netlink plugin to Finit. This patch
makes it possible to disable the default netlink plugin from being
built. However, even before this patch it was possible to overload
the plugin. This just discards it from being built.

The AC_PLUGIN() could not properly handle if a plugin is to be enabled
by default. This patch adds support for outputting the correct help
text.

Libraries and system headers should be included with <> instead of "".
This makes a great difference for the automatic dependency tracking.

Prune standard configure flags and focus on the most important, whatever
they may be. Mention --disable-inetd and describe how --enable-static
works.

This patch fixes regressions in --enable-static introduced with the
conversion to the GNU configure and build system.
The default link flag to libtool is set to -static-libtool-libs, meaning
not a fully static build -- the C library will still be used as an .so
which is usually what people want -- whereas libite (-lite) and libuEv
are linked statically.

This patch corrects a long standing issue with Finit. System initial
bootstrap runlevel must be set to 'S' (0), not the configured fallback
runlevel 'RUNLEVEL', which likely is '2'.
Also, minor cleanup, reduce code duplication.
