Make a note for the IPS review to ask how a package can install
cronjobs with no scripting (time for the occasionally discussed
migration of cron jobs to SMF?   adopting a cron.d model, which
I believe some Linuxes use to simplify package installation of
cronjobs without scripting?).    Of course, that is Not This Case (tm).
