---------------------------------+------------------------------------------
 When a start, stop, restart, or init (but not both start and stop) option
 is given to startupitem and the system supports launchd, it wants to use a
 wrapper script ([browser:trunk/base/src/port1.0/portstartupitem.tcl#L416
 beginning of section]) and a startup script.  The code creates a launchd
 wrapper which references this startup script
 ([browser:trunk/base/src/port1.0/portstartupitem.tcl#L424 block which
 references the startup script]).  However, nowhere in {{{proc
 startupitem_create_darwin_launchd}}} does it actually create this script,
 {{{${scriptdir}/${portname}.sh}}}.

 If a port is expected to create this startup script itself, it needs to be
 documented since the directory for it, {{{${prefix}/etc/startup}}}, does
 not appear in any documentation I can find.
