If not init script type is explicitly chosen by the user, we
try to pick a good default based on the compilation OS.
Unfortunately, in that situation our code only really does
the right thing for old RHEL releases. Our reporting is
sub-par, too.
This series makes it so more distributions get the right
init script installed by default and improves reporting.

If we didn't find a match, either because we're cross compiling
or because we're not building on RHEL, we won't install any
init script.
Make sure this is reported correctly in the configure summary.

We put "then" on the same line as "if" elsewhere in the file.

We put "then" on the same line as "if" elsewhere in the file.
We actually seem to be using both...
Having "then" on the same line is closer to what out C code looks
like though, so agreed. I'll change it.

New subject: [libvirt] [PATCH 2/2] configure: Add systemd detection to --with-init-script=check
Most distributions, including RHEL, have switched to systemd,
so it makes sense for it to be the preferred choice.
Our witness for the check is the presence of the /etc/systemd
directory on the host.

From "preferred choice" I would expect
with_init_script=systemd is the
default, but the patch actually does some checking.
Our witness for the check is the presence of the /etc/systemd
directory on the host.
Very interesting, this directory actually exists on my Open-RC based
Gentoo system.

That's because applications install their startup scripts there.
Usually they install scripts for all init systems so that it works
everywhere. I don't know where we use this but it seems weird that we
need to know which ones to use. If we still need to know then I would
expect us to rather check either 'type systemctl' or 'mount -t cgroup |
grep name=systemd' or something like that.
