Summary: Cron like scheduler

Initial Comment:
I have working cron-like scheduer as Tcl command for
other project and it makes real difference in doing
background tasks.
Current AS schedule_proc functionality is fine but not
flexible, having it as unix cron would give real
opportunities to run tasks from AS, not using UNIX cron
in addition. I have code, it is very small and simple,
i was surpised myself when i have it done.

I am just not sure is it better be new command or
extend ns_schedule_proc with additional switches.

Currently, syntax is somethign like this:

ns_cron script -id id -enable 0|1 -once 0|1 -thread 0|1
-min N -hour N -day N -mon N -year N -dow N -interval N 

-min|hour|mon|day|year|dow can be repeated.

All Tcl?  Care to attach the implementation?
I also had the need for this and did it myself
i Tcl as well (hey, we're masters in reinventing 
the wheel!)

I think the reason to implement this in core
server as C-code was the idea to be able 
to use it from the C-API as well w/o being 
dependent on some Tcl code from outside.
