[OE-core] [RFC][PATCH] sysvinit: make pidof usuable in a standalone setting

[Koen Kooi]

Currently it's a symlink to killall5:

$ dpkg-deb -c sysvinit-pidof_2.88dsf-r1_armv7a.ipk  | grep pidof
lrwxrwxrwx root/root         0 2011-05-27 11:05 ./bin/pidof.sysvinit -> /sbin/killall5

The point of the pidof subpackage was to have a pidof without needing sysvinit, this restores that behaviour. The trade-off is a 14KiB (armv7a, uncompressed) increase in size.

Signed-off-by: Koen Kooi <koen at dominion.thruhere.net>

The alternative is to just move 'killall5' into the pidof subpackage and to RDPEPENDS_${PN} += "${PN}-pidof"

The change in this patch was the least amounts of edits to the recipe, let me know which way you prefer.
