-The dmd program is a ``Daemon managing Daemons'' (or maybe a
-``Daemons-managing Daemon''?), i.e. a service manager, that is written

-replacement for the service-managing capabillities of SysV-init (or
-any other init) with a both powerfull and beautiful dependency-based

-GNU/Hurd, but it is supposed to work on every POSIX-like system where
