systemd System and Service Manager
+CHANGES WITH 42:
+ * This is an important bugfix release for v41.
+
+ * Building man pages is now optional which should be useful
+ for those building systemd from git but unwilling to install
+ xsltproc.
+
+ * Watchdog support for supervising services is now usable. In
+ a future release support for hardware watchdogs
+ (i.e. /dev/watchdog) will be added building on this.
+
+ * Service start rate limiting is now configurable and can be
+ turned off per service. When a start rate limit is hit a
+ reboot can automatically be triggered.
+
+ * New CanReboot(), CanPowerOff() bus calls in systemd-logind.

CHANGES WITH 41:
* The systemd binary is installed /usr/lib/systemd/systemd now;
An existing /sbin/init symlink needs to be adapted with the
package update.
+ * The code that loads kernel modules has been ported to invoke
+ libkmod directly, instead of modprobe. This means we do not
+ support systems with module-init-tools anymore.
+
+ * Watchdog support is now already useful, but still not
+ complete.
+
+ * A new kernel command line option systemd.setenv= is
+ understood to set system wide environment variables
+ dynamically at boot.
+
+ * We now limit the set of capabilities of systemd-journald.
+
+ * We now set SIGPIPE to ignore by default, since it only is
+ useful in shell pipelines, and has little use in general
+ code. This can be disabled with IgnoreSIPIPE=no in unit
+ files.

CHANGES WITH 40:
* This is mostly a bugfix release
it will execute. This is useful to minimize the time window
with a generic argv[0], which makes bootcharts more useful
