such a completely automated thing is a bad idea ... detecting and warning
though isnt a bad idea ... too many issues such as config files may need to
be upgraded or maybe a config file was edited but admin doesnt want to
restart the service just yet, etc...
this probably falls under the pkg_{pre,post}inst gathering code bug ... but at
the very end of an emerge process, i think that there should be a summary of
packages which were upgraded and have a running init script ... detecting
whether a given init script is running is trivial, just ask us base folk on
irc and we can point you in the right direction
