I tried INITPicker and found two caveats:

1. Since it doesn't change the type of those files that are disabled, the
   control panel will still show a cdev that was actually not loaded.

2. Compare to the init manager "init cdve 2.0" it takes much more time to
   load at startup.

Having those two disadvantages, the only advantage over the free "init cdev 2.0"
is that it can control the order in which INITs/CDEVs are loaded.  This doesn't 
seem to be a good enough reason to charge money for such a utility when a
comparable free utility exists.
