Re: runit on AIX

["Daniel Clark" <dclark@pobox.com>]

I'm not a C programmer, so immediately thought of the shell-based
solution, but I agree your patch makes much more sense. I have some Q2
deadlines at work, but will test this probably over the weekend, and
report back to the list so it can get included in runit 1.7.3.

BTW I am not using runit to replace init, just as a service monitor,
so the "it's working on AIX" only applies to that use case; I haven't
(and am not planning on) trying to replace AIX init with runit.
