startupitems and port load

[Jeremy Lavergne]

Does `sudo port load ...` do a force load (`launchctl load -F ...`) or  
does it write it out as runnable (`launchctl load -w ...`)?
If it writes it out, is this the preferred way to run ports with  
startupitems?
When creating your own launchd files, how does one correctly install it?


I've heard that using daemondo allows us to account for ports that  
don't expect launchd to handle them.  I think that we should go a  
little beyond this and determine if we should use it or not.

I propose that we avoid using daemondo only if the portfile explicitly  
uses launchd, maintaining backwards compatibility.  Any thoughts on  
this?
