SIGUSR2 being used?

Hello,

Are there any plans to assign SIGUSR2 to some specific handler? If not,
I would like to use this for the 'status' argument for the init script.

SIGUSR2 would cause Cherokee to print the settings that were passed when
starting it and (in the future) other informative things.

Likewise, /etc/init.d/cherokee status failing alerts the init script to
remove a stale PID, as 'status' would just mean a kill -SIGUSR2. This
makes locking much simpler and intelligent.

Obviously, this is GNU/Linux centric.

Regards,
--Tim

So far, we've got "cherokee -i" in trunk and the "server_info" handler
(it returns HTML though). But, yeah.. it sounds like an interesting
nice-to-have.

I'll implement it and start off with a simple message that prints basic
stuff in 80 column text. Hopefully I get a little of this weekend to
myself so I can tinker :)
