Hmmm... init.d scripts (or similar) are very OS-dependent. They are really
part of the packaging of mailscanner for a particular OS. We would need to
have a good think about where the break between mailscanner itself and the
mailscanner package for <your OS> should be, and how to structure things
so as to be useful on all OSes... and most importantly to not get in the
way on any OS.

There are a few other similar areas to think about -- access to configuration
information for update scripts, for one, and uh, I can't remember the other
one that I was thinking of.

Oh well...
