scripts (netstart, rc.local, rc.conf.*) are no longer "evaluated". They
are run as seperate programs.
As a result, variables they set are no longer automatically propogated
into the sh variables of the sh parent. We are blocking variable polution
for a number of reasons which will become clear in time. It is understood
that this change will affect the practices some people have.
