Since you're doing this approach that would require an extra step, why
not aim at a more powerful script that converts them to systemd units?
Many of scripts these days use start-stop-daemon and we could generate
matching units without much hassle.

Anyway, your runscript.sh will be useful if we aim at having systemd
as an official gentoo alternative.
