Ah ha!  I have a preliminary mcron service (attached).  It’s
undocumented and subject to change, but feedback is welcome!

Currently it’s designed to run on ‘mcron’ process per user/group pair.
Eventually, we’ll probably change mcron to allow us to run a single
instance as root, and it will automatically setuid/setgid for each job.

I told Mathieu Lirzin off-line about a couple of minor issues that would
need to be fixed in his mcron branch¹, after which we can probably
commit it (but let’s not put pressure on him!).

Thanks,
Ludo’.
