The config file has to be touched manually to configure it properly. In
the past this was part of clamd and people managed to lockup / deadlock
their systems. Therefore I hesitate to add an initscript here.
However I agree that even with proper configuration an initscript would
be nice here since there is no need to over complicate it.

Feel free to post something (by someone who is actually using it),
otherwise I try to add something later on.
