There is a portion of pulp, called 'juicer' that potentially runs all
the time as part of apache.

I do like the notion of reusing cron. However, if there are technical
obstacles, we should consider alternatives. Kronos is part of the turbo
gears framework and should be reasonably well fleshed out.

As an admin, I don't think I'd care too much how it was implemented,
just that it worked. Though, I would like to get more feedback on that.
