I'd like to see baselayout and rc-scripts separated. This would at least 
address the runscript.sh issue. Secondly, the rc-scripts doesn't need to 
married to the baselayout. Separating sysvinit from baselayout is another 
good step, which has happened already. In order to get rc-scripts 
separated, we probably need to separate the basic config files in /etc 
(not /etc/init.d or /etc/conf.d) and package them with baselayout.

Would this eliminate the need for a baselayout virtual?
