After having Bug #380371 [1] accepted into portage tree (yay! Still having a

high from thatp, I present you with another enhancement on the initscript I

whupped up there: Bug #387009 [2].

This should be a 'drop-in' enhancement to the current initscript (if you've

religiously updated fetchmail to the version incorporating Bug #380371).

The main enhancement would be the ability to specify the fetchmail 'rc' as a

(multi-line) variable in the related conf.d. This reduces the number of

files you have to maintain for fetchmail daemons to just one (per daemon).

Comments are of course very welcome!

(Note: I've personally deployed the new initscript into my office's

production boxen, so it's tested. Bugs may still creep up, though, so I'll

surely appreciate any bug report.)
