OK, release tarball of dcron 4.0 is now posted to
http://www.jimpryor.net/linux/dcron. Paul will say when it's ready to go
to [testing].

I also posted a dcron-git to AUR:
<http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=33377>. If anybody has trouble
with the [testing] version, and has time to help me test fixes, they can
use this.

I'll keep my eyes open to the lists/forum/bugtracker to see if people
report problems. I've tried to make the docs helpful. I'd be glad for
any further suggestions.
