That turns BSD init into System V init, more or less. /etc/rc.d/rc
(under RH, anyway), is effectively the same as your code, plus a bit of
enhancement. BSD, by contrast, just dumps everything into /etc/rc, or
one of the few rc.* scripts that it calls.

How is this different from putting those scripts in /etc/rc.d/rc5.d?
Call them S99mystuff.[1-9], and they'll be called after S99local, just
as you're doing by hand.
