/*
 *	Interface:	Bootstrap server
 *
 *  The bootstrap server is the first user-mode task initiated by the Mach
 *  kernel at system boot time.  The bootstrap server provides two services,
 *  it initiates other system tasks, and manages a table of name-port bindings
 *  for fundamental system services  (e.g. the NetMsgServer, and the Unix
 *  emulation service).
 *
 *  The file /etc/bootstrap.conf is read by bootstrap to determine other system
 *  services to initiate at system boot time.  The format of this file is
 *  described later.
 *
 *  Name-port bindings can be established with the bootstrap server by either 
 *  of two mechanisms:
 *
 *  1.  The binding can be indicated in the file /etc/bootstrap.conf.  In this
 *  case, bootstrap will immediately create a port and bind the indicated name
 *  with that port.  At a later time, a service may "checkin" for the name-port
 *  binding and will be returned receive rights for the bound port.  Lookup's
 *  on bindings created by this mechanism will return send rights to the port,
 *  even if no service has "checked-in".  In this case, requests sent to the
 *  bound port will be queued until a server has checked-in and can satisfy the
 *  request.
 *
 *  2.  Bindings can be established dynamically via a "register" request.  In
 *  this case, the register request provides bootstrap with a name and send
 *  rights for a port.  Bootstrap will provide send rights for the bound port
 *  to any requestor via the lookup request.
 *
 *  Bootstrap provides its service port to descendant tasks via the Mach
 *  "bootstrap" special task port.  All direct descendants of bootstrap receive
 *  a "privileged" bootstrap service port.  System services that initiate
 *  untrusted tasks should replace the Mach bootstrap task special port with
 *  a subset bootstrap port to prevent them from infecting the namespace.
 *
 *  The bootstrap server creates a "backup" port for each service that it
 *  creates.  This is used to detect when a checked out service is no longer
 *  being served.  The bootstrap server regains all rights to the port and
 *  it is marked available for check-out again.  This allows crashed servers to 
 *  resume service to previous clients.  Lookup's on this named port will 
 *  continue to be serviced by bootstrap while holding receive rights for the 
 *  bound port.  A client may detect that the service is inactive via the.
 *  bootstrap status request.  If the service re-registers rather than
 *  "checking-in" the original bound port is destroyed.
 *
 *  The status of a named service may be obtained via the "status" request.
 *  A service is "active" if a name-port binding exists and receive rights
 *  to the bound port are held by a task other than bootstrap.
 *
 *  Bootstrap initiates server tasks and creates initial name-port bindings as
 *  directed by the configuration file /etc/bootstrap.conf.  This file has
 *  entries with the following formats:
 *
 *	services [ SERVICE_NAME ]+ ;
 *
 *		E.g:
 *		services OldService=1 SomeService;
 *
 *		Creates a port and binds the name "OldService" to it.
 *		For compatability, assigns the port via mach_ports_register to
 *		slot 1.  Also creates a port and binds the name "SomeService".
 *
 *	self [ SERVICE_NAME ]+ ;
 *
 *		E.g:
 *		self BootStrapService;
 *
 *		Provides a binding to bootstrap's own service port named
 *		"BootStrapService".
 *
 *	[restartable] server SERVER_FILE_AND_ARGS [ services ... ] ;
 *
 *		E.g:
 *		server "/usr/etc/sigserver -i" services UnixSignalService;
 *
 *		Initiates the server task "/usr/etc/sigserver" with
 *		command-line argument "-i", and also creates a name-port
 *		binding for the name UnixSignalService.  Checkin requests for
 *		UnixSignalService are only accepted via the bootstrap service
 *		port passed to/usr/etc/sigserver.  If the "restartable" option
 *		had been specified, bootstrap will reinitiate the server task
 *		if it receives notification that all of the server's service
 *		ports have been destroyed or deallocated.  The server command
 *		may be specified without surrounding quotes if it does not
 *		include blanks.
 *
 *	init SERVER_FILE_AND_ARGS [ services ... ] ;
 *
 *		E.g:
 *		init /etc/init services NetMsgService=0 PSWindowService=4;
 *
 *		Functions like "server" request above, except process is
 *		started as pid 1.  Illegal if bootstrap itself was not
 *		initiated as pid 1.
 *
 *	forward;
 *
 *		If present, bootstrap will forward unknown lookup requests to
 *		its bootstrap service port (if not PORT_NULL), and forward any
 *		reply to the original requester.
 *
 *	# Comment string up to end of line.
 *
 *		A line terminated comment starts with a sharp sign (#).
 *
 *  Lexical notes:  Strings are either enclosed in double quotes ("), or must
 *  start with a letter or underscore (_) and followed by a string of
 *  alphanumerics and underscores; backslash (\) escapes the following
 *  character.  Strings are limited to a (large) length.  Numbers must be
 *  decimal.  Blanks and newlines may be freely used outside of strings.
