[Opensim-dev] init.d scripts I put on the wiki and putting then in the svn

[Gryc Ueusp]

Yes, I'm well aware of how /opt is bad for packages, but when I was working on

buildservers.

And please do help with the packaging.  Once it's done for Debian/Ubuntu, 
it'll probably translate well to other build systems.
