it's a big no-no.  the only thing that is valid is sending a message to a 
running daemon to tell it that it needs to restart itself.

problems with launching a daemon from an ebuild:
 - inherits bloated portage environment
 - screws up systems when package is:
    - emerged into ROOT != /
    - cross-compiled
    - emerged inside of a chroot

guess i should get this actually documented ...
