Remove the FreeBSD KEYWORD from all rc.d scripts where it appears. We have not checked for this KEYWORD for a long time now, so this is a complete noop, and thus no PORTREVISION bump. Removing it at this point is mostly for pedantic reasons, and partly to avoid perpetuating this anachronism by copy and paste to future scripts.

Now that new style rc.d scripts are being run as part of the base rcorder, hard coded variable values in these scripts are overriding the values in /etc/rc.conf[.local] (due to the way that variables from the latter are read at boot time).

Therefore, change the boot scripts to set default values only
if the variable is unset in /etc/rc.conf[.local]. This will
allow the service to start at boot time if it's been enabled
as the user would expect.

This change will be a noop for users who have systems that
have not yet been upgraded to the new rc.d code in the base.

In many cases there are other variables in the scripts that
should get similar treatment, however I did not change
anything other than the _enable lines. I'll leave the rest
up to the maintainers to do as they see fit.

Bump PORTREVISION to make sure that users and packages
pick up this change.

Switch mDNSResponder from the Apple startup script to a simple rc.subr script.  This means that mdnsd is not started by default and must be enabled by adding an mdnsd_enable="YES" line to your /etc/rc.conf.

This works around a panic in the multicast code when network interfaces
are removed and multicast sockets are open on them since many users of
this port only need the utilities, not the daemon.

Apple's mDNSResponder:

What is mDNSResponder?
----------------------

The mDNSResponder project is a component of Rendezvous,
Apple's ease-of-use IP networking initiative:
<http://developer.apple.com/macosx/rendezvous/index.html>

Apple's Rendezvous software derives from the ongoing standardization
work of the IETF Zero Configuration Networking Working Group:
<http://zeroconf.org/>

See rest of readme for other juicy details.

Secial thanks to Apple for making this code available as well as
to the various people inside Apple that made this possible.
