The original idea was of course to use the configuration manager to do
this. Basically the system starts the msgq and config processes, and
then reads the configuration for the rest of the system from config.

We've talked about it since I wrote the original requirements(*).

One of the ideas would be to have processes which are required for
system startup and processes which are not.

So, for example, you might have a configuration like this:

name               process       start on boot    required to boot
Message Queue      b10-msgq           YES                YES
Config Manager     b10-cfgmgr         YES                YES
Authoritative DNS  b10-authd          yes                yes
DNS Master         b10-xfrout         yes                yes
DNS Slave          b10-zonemgr        no                 no
Dynamic DNS        b10-ddnsd          yes                no

Anyway, that was the general idea.
