I was thinking more along the lines of a USE flag, as suggested first by |
| 13 |
Rich. Add a system-init flag to daemontools, defaulting to off, and have |
| 14 |
the virtual depend on daemontools[system-init] and the problem goes away |

with the only cost being the unnecessary requirement to rebuild |
| 16 |
daemontools. |

The word 'Windows' is a word out of an old dialect of the Apaches. |
