goggole gives me this:

http://cr.yp.to/slash.html, which says /service is a directory of symlinks.

this, however:

http://cr.yp.to/daemontools/svscan.html

seems to imply that a directory different from /service could also be managed
by svscan, and it wouldn't need to hold symlinks.  (at least its a directory
different from /service, given that /service is defined by djb's hierarchy
as a directory of symlinks, or so I read it.)

But I'm not entirely sure.  BTW, thanks to David Phillips for the -x option
I'd never used that one before, I'd always just killed the supervise process
manually.  (which is probably bad and wrong.)
