Patch for CRONw 2.0

Here you can find a patch for Robert Kehl's CRONw, a CRON daemon for Windows written in Perl.
The patch adds the ability to parse alias strings for the times on which a jobs need to be run.
It was merged, in slightly modified form, into the upstream CRONw codebase on March 19th 2006,
in the beta 2.02 version.

String Meaning
@yearly Run once a year, "0 0 1 1 *".
@annually (same as @yearly)
@monthly Run once a month, "0 0 1 * *".
@weekly Run once a week, "0 0 * * 0".
@daily Run once a day, "0 0 * * *".
@midnight (same as @daily)
@hourly Run once an hour, "0 * * * *".
@reboot Run once, at startup. (This functionality is not supported by CRONw)

Laws of Computer Programming:
	(1) Any given program, when running, is obsolete.
	(2) Any given program costs more and takes longer.
	(3) If a program is useful, it will have to be changed.
	(4) If a program is useless, it will have to be documented.
	(5) Any given program will expand to fill all available memory.
	(6) The value of a program is proportional the weight of its output.
	(7) Program complexity grows until it exceeds the capability of
	    the programmer who must maintain it.
