Thank you for the patch!  Although I didn't apply all its parts
verbatim, the patch showed me quite a number of rough corners still
in my article.  I did my best to polish them.  The revised version
is ready at http://people.freebsd.org/~yar/rcng/ .

Your help is much appreciated!

I can commit to doc by myself, and I'd like to, but would you mind
telling me what I should do apart from committing the article itself,
connecting it to the build via ../Makefile, and adding a reference
to the Books & Articles Online webpage?

By the way, what short title would you suggest for the article?
Does "rc-scripting" look good?
