I think that adding other stanzas to init.conf in the same way like is
in this patch for limit would be quite easy, most of it can be taken
from parse_job and if there is a chance that this will be accepted I can
prepare it. But if somebody thinks that this is not necessary or
unwanted it would be good to known.
