cron.eclass has no maintainer, and provides helper routines for 5 cron packages.  Overall, it seems that it: 1) adds more code than it saves, 2) causes confusion (because people first think it's useful for installing cron.d files), and 3) severely impacts readability of cron ebuilds.  I think we should remove it and inline the code as necessary.
