svn commit: r241625 - head/usr.sbin/cron/cron

Guys,

The latest version of the patch against current HEAD is available here:

http://sobomax.sippysoft.com/cron.diff

Any comments/suggestions are appreciated. This version should default to 
previous behaviour of waking up every 60 seconds unless there is 
@every_second entry in the cron.

Konstantin, can you please put it for testing to your boxes? Please make 
sure to do `make clean' after applying it, as libcron is not listed as a 
dependency for cron, so it's possible that some changes may not be 
picked up.

Thanks!

-Maxim
