1. Packages need to be placed in /opt/... rather than default locations
2. The startup scripts for OE need to be handled in a way that works with unslung
3. We need a way to change prefix and exec_prefix on a case-by-case basis, so that unsling and wget can go in the right place.
4. The ldconfig executable built from OE segfaults on the slug (lots of package postinst scripts call ldconfig)

1. Changing the values prefix and exec_prefix in local.conf can cause packages to install properly, but causes Unslung to build wrong

1. ? Would it be possible to use a standalone ldconfig or a different ldconfig than the one in OE?

Notes on the Unslung (derived from Linksys) init script system

The Linksys init scripts start at /etc/rc, and work through /etc/rc.d/rc.sysinit and /etc/rc.d/rc.1, and many others called by those. Eventually they get to near the end, and then we inserted a line to call /etc/rc.d/rc.unslung-start to start all the Unslung packages.

That /etc/rc.d/rc.unslung-start script does some diversion script processing, then enters it's main loop which looks like this (cut down to remove the dross):

 # Start all init scripts in /opt/etc/init.d
 # executing them in numerical order.
 #
 for i in /opt/etc/init.d/S??* ;do

     # Ignore dangling symlinks (if any).
     [ ! -f "$i" ] && continue

     case "$i" in
        *.sh)
            # Source shell script for speed.
            (
                trap - INT QUIT TSTP
                set start
                . $i
            )
            ;;
        *)
            # No sh extension, so fork subprocess.
            $i start
            ;;
    esac
 done

There is a similar /etc/rc.d/rc.unslung-stop script which does much the same thing except looks for K??* instead of S??* and calls them with a "stop" argument (so you can use the same script for both S** and K** if you process the argument).
