Valgrind as init

After the discussion recently around running static code analysis on
upstart, my mind automatically went to the other analysis tool I use
the most: valgrind.

A quick google reveals [1], which suggests it doesn't work
out-of-the-box, but I'm not familiar enough with valgrind's internals
to know how fatal or fixable that problem actually is.

If anyone else has tried this I'd love to know. If not then I might
see if I can find the time to take a look.

Cheers,
Evan
