Sorry, but I think the ways between implementing services and daemons are
very different.

Maybe this is not what you seek as this example is not simple, but take your
time to visit http://edna.sf.net. It's a streaming MP3 server. It can be run
as a daemon either on Linux (via sh) or as a service on Windows (via
win32service).
