Uhh, I dont use rc.d too much to this be usefull to me but...

I'm thinking about it, creating sym links looks *ugly* to me, because
you need to updated it after you remove or add new rc.d.

I think that a much cleaner solution is to create a rename filesystem
using FUSE to rename files from /etc/rc.d on the fly. (FUSE is so cool
^_^)

Bye,
