+replacement for the service-managing capabilities of SysV-init (or any other
+init) with a both powerful and beautiful dependency-based system with a
+convenient interface.  It is intended for use on GNU/Hurd, but it is supposed
+to work on every POSIX-like system where Guile is available.  In particular,
+it has been tested on GNU/Linux.")
