Hello

For some reason my mainboard (ASUS K8V SE Deluxe with AMD64 3000+ CPU)
does not automatically regulate the fan speed regardless of the
activation of the Quiet'n'Cool feature in the BIOS so I seem to have to
use the fancontrol daemon.

To make it useable an init script would be good. Please take attached
one as a start. 

It's not yet "perfect" but should still be considered for Etch. Notes:
* It prints "please run pwmconfig" if there is no /etc/fancontrol or the
  file is present but not yet configured.
* As fancontrol is a bash script I could not use the --exec parameter
  when stopping the daemon so it only relies on the PID file.
* Fancontrol only terminates after its "sleep $INTERVAL" has finished
  which usually happens after at most 10s. So restart waits 10s, too.
  I could use signal KILL here but that seemed too dangerous in the case
  of a CPU fan.

bye,

-christian-
