An init script is just a Bourne shell script.  It could be just one 
line, launching VLC in vlm mode.  That's essentially what we do.

Some Linuxen add features on top of this; for instance, Red Hat and its 
chkconfig mechanism.  But, it is not required that you support this. 
And if you did want to support it, just copy-snd-hack an existing init 
script.  The format is very easy to understand once you see it.  We 
don't bother because we choose to handle vlm starting and stopping in 
another way.
