Improve processing of service directories and conf.d files
symbolic links should not be followed in an attempt to work out the name of the service we are running. Also, @sysconfdir@/conf.d should be tried as a backup directory for configuration files. I would like to thank Robin Johnson for his input on this change. X-Gentoo-Bug: 350910 X-Gentoo-Bug-URL: http://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=350910

-Because of the way we load our configuration files and the need to handle
-more than one service directory, you can only use symlinks in service
-directories to other services in the same directory.
-You cannot symlink to a service in a different directory even if it is
-another service directory.

is_older_than should return 0 on success.
Instead we return 1 to be compliant with Gentoo baselayout.
Users are encouraged to use the is_newer_than function which returns correctly.
