Designing a new init: low level communication

write "montior stdout,stderr" to the "toinit" fd, then read on "frominit"?
sure, we need a bit of code in init for that, but this should be easy
to make ifdef'able.
And still a lot less code in init.
Maybe we can use "monitor stdout,stderr to socket foo" instead, too.

best regards,
Erich Schubert
