Allow init scripts to be executed with a relative path
This was a regression that was caused by the fix for http://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=350910. I am reverting the commit that we said fixed that bug and re-opening it.

+Because of the way we load our configuration files and the need to handle
+more than one service directory, you can only use symlinks in service
+directories to other services in the same directory.
+You cannot symlink to a service in a different directory even if it is
+another service directory.

is_older_than should return 0 on success.
Instead we return 1 to be compliant with Gentoo baselayout.
Users are encouraged to use the is_newer_than function which returns correctly.
