 > Add a simple init script that invokes sysctl early in the initialization

 > Changes v2->v3:
 >   - Update SOB, since I don't work for DATACOM anymore.
 > Changes v1->v2:
 >   - The "--system" option activates "--ignore", which is bad because
 >     invalid variable settings in the configuration files will not be
 >     reported on the system log. Use some scripting to mimic the --system
 >     behavior but still reporting errors.
 >   - Redirect sysctl's standard output to syslog with facility.level
 >     "kern.info" and standard error to syslog with facility.level
 >     "kern.err".
 >   - Do not pass "--quiet" to sysctl, since we wanto to see the results.
 >   - Use "Running" and "Rerunning" instead of "Starting", since we do not
 >     really start anything, just run a program.
 >   - Do nothing on "stop", since ther is no running daemon to stop.

Committed, thanks.
