That's already possible... but not with the config.pl file.

You should set the full and incr. backup period to -1 in the config, so that 
backuppc doesn't start a backup automaticly...

After that you can add the "BackupPC_dump" command into your crontab. With 
this method it is possible to start a backup on a fixed daytime.

So I think there is no need to implement another method of scheduling backups.

Hope I could help...
