[Initng] On the future, .i vs .s files.

[Jimmy Wennlund]

The new system for scripts is really a step forward, that meens that we
can move logic away from initng, and reduce a lot of code, and at the
same time make initng more dynamic, with this way init scripts can be
written in c/bash/tcl/perl or other language.

Maby its possible to make/write an .i -> .s convertor so the move will
go smoth.

Ismael, keep up the good work.
