On demand loading is great.  But the system administrator needs to have
control to be able to turn things on and off.  So we need Lennart to give us
information on how to do that.  Lennart also needs to give us information on
how to write .socket files.  With those in hand, guidelines would and fesco
would be able to ship with on-demand-loading that was off by default (does
nt load at all) but the system administrator would be able to enable the
service so that it would start to load on-demand rather than at boot.
