CHANGES:

- Rewrote the cron system.  Removed cron.module and moved all cron
  related options to settings.module.  Cron was a confusing thing:
  it has been made simpler both in terms of code and configuration.

   + You had to rehash your modules to make the cron show up in
     the list.  This is no longer required.

   + You couldn't tell what cron "watchdog" or cron "story" were
     up to.  Instead, we now display a clear description message
     for every cron involved.

   + The user interface of setting.module - and the admin section
     in general, looks a bit ackward but I couldn't care less and
     don't want to see this improve at the time being.

- Improved setting.module:
   + Now uses variable_set().
   + Added some help and documentaition on how to setup cron.

- Improved ./export.

- Updated CHANGELOG.


TODO:

- I'm now going to look into UnConeD's question with regard to
  check_output() and $theme->node(), as well as the filter and
  macro stuff.  I'll probably be fine-tuning setting.module a
  bit more on my way.
