After making it optional, curiously, it's a couple seconds slower on my
single processor box.  That's like 10% slower while it is doing init
stuff.  I don't have a parallel box to test it with though...  I'm sure it
would be much faster in that case.  I'll default it to off then and SMPers
can edit /etc/sysconfig/init:PARALLEL_INIT=yes

I had to redesign the status message printing, as well, since the old
print_status didn't know what it was printing status for since any number
of things could be going at once.  I think people will like it though.  I
do.  The [  OK  ] stuff was designed for sequential booting and I thought
it was ugly anyways.  It looks like this now:

init.d: rc: Entering runlevel 3...
init.d: sshd: Starting sshd...
init.d: alsa: Sarting alsa...
init.d: sshd: success
init.d: alsa: success

but "success" is the success color, too (can't represent this over text
email).  Same with failure and warning.  I need to go through the diff
procedure and make a patch now...  I think it's pretty stable at this
point.  I think I'll make the script name white instead of grey though.
