I added the 'start' for people who didn't really know what they were
doing; it sets the context to 'NULL', which means that nothing with a
specified context gets run.  It and 'BOOT' are the only special contexts.

So, I usually just run 'isboothook start' when I need to run isconf
manually, but 'isboothook boot' needs to be run at boot time, in case any
new BOOT context items have to be run.  I think that at this point
'install' doesn't really do anything; it's essentially a hook, left in
case I need to do something but mainly a holdover from ISconf2.
