miniDLNA init script

[GoogleCodeExporter]

minidlna seems to only run with the "-d" option flag, and also can't 
create its pid file. 

As an interim solution, after installing minidlna, replace /etc/init.d/ 
S80minidlna with the file bellow.
minidlna will run as root. 

Maximize this windows, otherwise copy/paste will break wide lines

The good news is that minidlna has a new stable source code release 
(the package will only be available after 0.1B6 is released)

Use the attached file, instead of copy/paste the one posted in the previous 
comment.
