[Browsix] Init system

Most of the modern web applications require a remote server hosting microservices. Browsix lets the developer, among all the other things, get rid of that 'heavy' dependency, by executing needed processes in the client's browser instead!

Project

I propose to help Browsix in reaching that goal by developing a fast and concurrent init system with a focus on dependency-handling. It will allow an easy setup of the environment needed for service to execute properly. One of important design choices would be providing a familiar interface for the user and so the service specification will be done using Systemd unit-files. The init system developed is also going to be fully capable of booting a system natively.
