[Icecast] startup script for icecast

Hello,
    I was wondering about the feasibility of including a startup script for 
icecast for redhat/fedora installs? I've had to do an rpm install on an fc4 
box, and a source install, rpms couldn't be found for an rh9 machine, yah i 
know that's old. And in both cases i had to drop in a custom-made startup 
script, see below. I was wondering esepcially in the case of the rpm, and to 
a lesser extent the source, if this could be included? I've had to change 
the below paths for both source and rpm installs since they put items, 
(Config file and binaries), in different places.
Thanks.
Dave.
