    As I'm pursuing these matters as well, I've found that mucking with
    jails is faster, for a lot of bulk work. Starting/stopping a jail
    is _much_ quicker than reboots. (And it's a lot easier to reset a
    jail to a prior state.) This won't exercise the rc* scripts, but
    will let you quickly test for dependancies elsewhere.

    And whatever you find for dependancies, please document them
    somewhere; I still have a fantasy of 'deconstructing' FreeBSD into
    finer-grained packages...
