Hello David & List....

Just to let you know, I've started digging into it.  Got the latest 
version of it (4.3), and have it compiled, but not working yet.  In order 
to even build it, I had to update Automake, Autoconf, and M4.  Also, 
without alot of source hacking, its needs to be built under GCC 4, maybe 
even 3.

Right now I am testing a Cross Compiled version in AranyM, and seem to 
have file issues right now which I'm sorting out.  Mainly read and write 
issues I think.  Crond seems to run, but time seems to be off, and crontab 
itself seems to have file i/o issues right now.

I'll try to keep chuggin on it.
