 * When we take down a service or tty session, it would be ideal if we could kill
   the whole process tree, not just the leader process.
 * Investigate using cn_proc netlink connector (cn_proc.h) to receive process

 * Allow running services with different resource limits, chroot, cgroups,

 * Make default control socket location build-time configurable
 * Allow specifying a timeout for killing services; if they don't die within
   the timeout (after a TERM) then hit them with a KILL.

 * Support recognising /etc/init.d services automatically (as script services, with
   no dependency management - or upstart compatible dependency management)
   Also BSD's rc.d style scripts (PROVIDE, REQUIRE).
