Well, I've learned a few things today, though I imagine I'll have forgotten 
them by tomorrow.  :-(

I did my best to separate what Alexis contributed into its target files, and I 
think it's now working from a local repo. At least I can --sync and --update 
boinc to -r2 without errors.

However - stopping boinc still takes 60 seconds, with the differencec that I 
don't now see the trail of dots to show me how much longer I have to wait.

Is that period hard-coded into the start/stop mechanism of openrc?
