-This is version 0.99.1 of the mcron program, designed and written by Dale
-Mellor, which replaces and hugely enhances Vixie cron. It is functionally
-complete, production quality code (did you expect less?), but has not received
-much testing yet and contains known bugs. It has only been built on a GNU/Linux
-system, and will most likely fail on others (but you never know...).
 
-Mcron is supposed to be 100% Vixie compatible. However, in the current release
-this is broken, and by default only 50% compatibility is installed.

-By default, the cron and crontab programs are not installed, and mcron will
-happiliy coexist alongside any existing cron programs you have on your
-system. The Vixie-style programs can be installed by specifying --enable-vixie
-to the configure command, in which case you must take heed of the following
-notes.
-
-
-    Do not (yet) install this software on a machine which relies for its
-    functioning on its current set of crontabs.
-
-    The package must be installed by root.
-
-    Before installing this package for the first time, it is necessary to
-    terminate any running cron daemons on your system. If your old cron is not
-    accurately Vixie compatible (files in /var/cron/tabs*, /var/cron/allow,
-    /var/cron/deny, /etc/crontab, /var/run/cron.pid) then you will need to clear
-    out all old crontabs and make new ones afresh.
-
-    If your old cron is Vixie, or very similar, mcron should fall right into
-    place where your old cron was (the binaries cron and crontab will be
-    replaced), and you should be able to continue to use your existing crontabs
-    without noticing any changes. Bear in mind that if you use /etc/crontab,
-    then changes to this file will *not* take immediate effect (this is the 1%
-    incompatibility between mcron and Vixie cron); you may want to add a comment
-    to this file with a note to this effect. Alternatively, use the new mcron
-    program, it's better!
-
-    If you don't want to clobber your existing cron executables, you can specify
-    the --program-prefix option to configure with a prefix ending in a
-    non-alphabetic character, for example "m.", and then run the programs as
-    m.mcron, m.cron and m.crontab.
