AIX has its own "System Resource Controller" for services, and Windows NT
has NT services.  The Python service module should provide a unified API
to these system service frameworks.  I am familiar with AIX, and SysV
init.d is fairly simple, so I can handle those two.  Does anyone know
what is required for an NT service?  I'll leave the implementation to
someone else (since you'd have to pay us a lot to allow an NT box in the
door), but I would like to have the Python framework accomodate the NT
environment.
