hey, i just discovered that there's a new cron package available and it would be nice to have it in the tree as well :)

The GNU package mcron (Mellor's cron) is a 100% compatible replacement for Vixie cron. It is written in pure Guile, and allows configuration files to be written in scheme (as well as Vixie's original format) for infinite flexibility in specifying when jobs should be run. Mcron was written by Dale Mellor.

Reproducible: Always
