Put the init scrips into(this will ensure they are installed automaticaly
during casting(if you specify so)):
$SPELLDIR/init.d

And make sure the init scripts conform to our system i.e.:
added the following variables into them:
PROGRAM=/foo/bar/baz
RUNLEVEL=[one of S, 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, DEV]
Next only needed if it has any dependencies...
NEEDS=


This is more or less the official way...
