Charlie will be happy to hear this... =)

I've finally gotten around to modifying srv to work with runit, and 
have successfully booted/rebooted/halted an Annvix system in vmware 
using runit as init rather than the sysv-init.

Seems to work fairly good, but I'd like to do some more work before I 
commit it; I know there are some remaining svc calls hanging around 
that will need to be removed and then I'll have to modify run scripts 
to work with runit (and put us in a position to remove daemontools 
completely).

I'm actually quite impressed, although one thing that bugs me is that 
runit seems to "dirty" the process table somewhat.  What I mean by this 
is that for each runsv-controlled service, a ps shows "/bin/sh ./run" 
whereas using supervise, this didn't show up.  I'll have to ask Gerald 
about this once I get everything finished (Charlie, any ideas on how I 
can get rid of that?).  It makes ps a little difficult to read with all 
of these /bin/sh processes all over the place, especially on a server 
with a lot of systems running.

I'll also need to make the packages so that I can move /sbin/init to 
/sbin/init.sysv and have runit as /sbin/init.  This will mean you need 
to reboot after making the upgrade.  I am not having runit obsolete 
daemontools yet, nor am I removing it yet, although expect it soon.

Just giving a bit of a progress report.  The driving factor for me to 
do this was to better handle the mysql run scripts (I need that finish 
script that runit gives us).
