OT: Cron for windows

Looks like XP Scheduled Tasks can do it.  Make a daily job, scheduled to 
repeat "every 10 minutes" until 24 Hours are up.  At least this is what 
the google updater has done to get hourly jobs.

Cron under cygwin sounds like a huge drag, especially if you aren't 
trying to do any other open source stuff.  Then again, I never liked cygwin.
