1.7 (20121008)
- Show __FILE__ in _d() debug messages, useful for plugins with
similarily named callbacks. Also, only in debug mode anyway
- Make sure to cleanup recorded PID when a service is lost.
Required by service plugins for their callbacks to work.
- Bugfix: Do not free() static string in finit.conf parser
- Only clear screen when in verbose mode. Maybe this should
be removed altogether?
1.6 (20121006)
- Skip . and .. in plugin loader and display error on failed plugins
- Support for overriding /etc/finit.d with "runparts DIR" in finit.conf
- Revoke support for starting services not starting with a slash.
- Prevent endless restart of non-existing services in finit.conf
- Support for sysvinit style startstop scripts in /etc/finit.d
- Minor fix to alsa-utils plugin to silence on non-existing cards
1.5 (20121003)
- Use bootmisc plugin to setup standard FHS 2.3 structure in /var
- Added FLOG_WARN() syslog macro, for plugins
- Add plugin dependency resolver. Checks plugin_t for .depends
1.4 (20121002)
- Fix I/O plugin watcher and load plugins earlier for a new hook
- Start refactoring helpers.c into a libite.so (-lite). This
means other user space applications/daemons can make use of
the neat toolbox available in finit
- Use short-form -s/-w -u to work with BusyBox hwclock as well
- Use RTLD_GLOBAL flag to tell dynamic loader to load dependent
.so files as well. Lets other plugins use global symbols.

the plugin API.
- And more... see the GIT log for more details.

install-data, and install-dev targets in Makefile. Useful if you
want to call targets with different $DESTDIR!

- Strip binaries + .so files, support for $(CROSS) toolchain strip
- Default install is now to /sbin/finit and /usr/
- Note change in $PLUGIN_DIR environemnt variable to $plugindir
