It might still be relevant for other platforms, but I guess we can neglect those
as MacPorts won't succeed building anything on those platforms anyway. Removed
in r125364.
Btw, this also means that
http://trac.macports.org/browser/trunk/base/src/port1.0/portstartupitem.tcl
could be significantly cleaned up by removing the non-launchd parts. While at it,
changing the ui_notice lines to notes-append would probably also be a good idea.
