System V cron isn't just for heavyweights, though, it's got per-user
crontabs, remember, so joe-random-non-wizard who has his own crontab
has to understand the manpage.  Sigh.

Someone once mentioned wanting to write a System V-like cron in perl
so he could have per-user crontabs on his machine.  I wonder who
it was, and how he parsed the manpage ?
