Fantastic, thank you.

While this is very good, I don't think anyone has said the rc script
methods will go away.  They're a supported interface.

If applicable, you may wish to submit your manifest to the OpenSolaris
SMF community page.
http://www.opensolaris.org/os/community/smf/manifests/

Although it looks like they'd prefer a link to your site rather than
host it themselves.  But I'll bet both are possible.

It would be nice if servers could be given as properites.  Does yours do
that now?
