+Subject: base-files: add /etc/profile.d support
+
+OpenWrt should support an optional /etc/profile.d directory like
+most other Linux distributions. This allows packages to install
+their own scripts into /etc/profile.d/ directory.
+
+The file suffix should make clear, that these scripts
+are (sourced) shell-snippets. If the user needs e.g. php or lua,
+one must make sure that the interpreter is called.
+The reverse failsafe test makes sure, that the effective returncode is 0.
+
+A typcal usecase is the inclusion of private helpers,
+special variables or aliases, which at the moment needs
+patching the sourcecode and is not well maintainable.
+Now the builder can simply add there files.
+
+v1 initial work of Hendrik Lüth <hendrik@linux-nerds.de>
+v2 changes regarding RFC (e.g. thomas.langer@lantiq.com)
+v3 changes regarding RFC (e.g. mschiffer@universe-factory.net)
+v4 keep it simple and mimic OpenWrt style
