Any init script should respect the distinction between OpenSRF (a 
generic infrastructure layer) and Evergreen (a specific application
built on top of OpenSRF).  

In principle it should be possible, and preferably easy, to run
OpenSRF for other things besides Evergreen, or even without Evergreen
at all.  The separation between those layers is still not completely
clean, but hopefully it will be some day, and in the meanwhile we 
should at least maintain the pretense of independence.

So I would suggest two init scripts.  The first one would initialize 
OpenSRF.  The second one would either call the first one or verify 
that OpenSRF was already up and running, and then initialize the 
pieces specific to Evergreen.
