It would be useful to have back the program specification variable for 
inetd.  Currently we have:

inetd_enable="YES"              # Run the network daemon dispatcher (or NO).
inetd_flags="-wW"               # Optional flags to inetd

and the /etc/rc.* files assume the use of the stock inetd.  Where some 
people choose to use alternative inetd-like programs such as xinetd.  We'd 
do better to have in /etc/defaults/rc.conf:

inetd_enable="YES"              # Run the network daemon dispatcher (or NO).
inetd_program=-"/usr/local/sbin/xinetd"   # Location of inetd/service daemon
inetd_flags="-wW"               # Optional flags to inetd

.. or something similar, rather than manually editing the core rc.* scripts.
