Ah, great.  Thank you for the tip.  I've implemented a second draft
with reload support detection, pushed to the simpler-init-scripts
branch.  Check it out.  Still need some cleanup in the actual daemon
startup and lsb style reporting, I believe (should we split do_start
in two, one doing the lsb style reporting and another doing the
startup?), but the general structure should be ok.

The implementation change the behaviour of usage() and
do_force_reload() based on the availability of a do_reload() function,
make sure the latter is presented as an optoin and used to reload.  If
it isn't, do_force_reload() call do_restart().
