Joachim Nilsson fcaf5d7b76 README.md: Commit to spec for v2.0 release.
The event API, including Netlink events to services, looks OK now
to build the remaining two features on:

- Netlink plugin for GW and IFUP IFDN events
- Generic event support for services

Joachim Nilsson 03573b41ca Add support for a deny filter syntax to inetd services
This patch changes the syntax for custom inetd services and adds support
for deny filters.  The new syntax is:

    inetd service/proto[@iface,!iface,...] </path/to/cmd | internal[.service]>

This means the second column now defines what@from and the third to/what
process.  For internal services on a custom port the internal.service
syntax must be specified, so Finit can properly bind the inetd service
to the correct plugin.  Here follows a few examples:

    inetd time/udp                    wait [2345] internal                -- UNIX rdate service
    inetd time/tcp                  nowait [2345] internal                -- UNIX rdate service
    inetd 3737/tcp                  nowait [2345] internal.time           -- UNIX rdate service
    inetd telnet/tcp@*,!eth1,!eth0, nowait [2345] /sbin/telnetd -i -F     -- Telnet service
    inetd 2323/tcp@eth1,eth2,eth0   nowait [2345] /sbin/telnetd -i -F     -- Telnet service
    inetd 222/tcp@eth0              nowait [2345] /sbin/dropbear -i -R -F -- SSH service
    inetd ssh/tcp@*,!eth0           nowait [2345] /sbin/dropbear -i -R -F -- SSH service

Access to telnet on port `2323` is only possible from interfaces `eth0`,
`eth1` and `eth2`.  The standard telnet port (`23`) is available from
all other interfaces, but also `eth2`.  The `*` notation used in the ssh
stanza means *any* interface, however, here `eth0` is not allowed.

NOTE: This patch breaks syntax compatibility with Finit v1.12!

Joachim Nilsson 720324b256 Change syntax for multiple instances: #ID --> :ID
Turns out that #ID syntax for multiple instances, introduced in cb07556,
was very cumbersome to reference from the shell command line in the new
Finit client.  This patch changes the syntax from #ID to :ID, which also
means that listing services/jobs in the shell will look like JOB:ID.

Joachim Nilsson f5584ecc3c Add two new hook points: HOOK_SVC_RECONF and HOOK_RUNLEVEL_CHANGE.
These two new hooks run when SIGHUP is received and when changing
system runlevel.  The hooks are called when all services have been
stopped, just before starting up new/modified services.  Making it
the perfect hook for reconfiguring the system/hardware before new
services or modified services are started up again.

Joachim Nilsson cb075560ed Add support for multiple instances of the same command
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.

Joachim Nilsson 687f52b0b5 Add support for adding/removing services from /etc/finit.d at runtime.
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.

Joachim Nilsson 32587d341c Overhaul build system and add support for disabling inetd support.
This patch adds support for a configure script and with it
support for disabling inetd support.  See the output from

    ./configure --help

* Add configure script
* Sprinkle #ifdef fairy dust on svc.c when inetd support is disabled
* Use GCC built-in autodep calculator (-MMD -MP)
* Fix name space issue with include files, use relative paths
* Disable username/group name to uid/gid functions in static builds
* Bug out (error) if a user tries to build the bootmisc plugin static

Possibly fixes GitHub issue #5 and issue #6.

NOTE: The static build has not received any testing at all!
