This is the final test release before we go to [core] with the new crond. Please signoff, one for each architecture.

Aside from the upstream changes, two packaging items:

* I've decided to leave the crond logrotate script here for now, unless/until aaron (syslog-ng maintainer) thinks we should take it into that package. I'd rather tackle that effort in a separate step, rather than have it block launching the new 4.x dcron series.

* I've added an optdepend on smtp-server to address FS #12662.

Upstream release log below:

dcron 4.4 released. Changes:

  * Finished mailjobs were being left as zombie processes. Fixed.

  * When using crond with logging-to-file, user jobs could only log some
    events if they had write access to the log. Fixed this by having crond
    keep a file descriptor open to the log; also added a SIGHUP handler
    to make crond re-open the logfile. The sample logrotate script now
    sends that signal.

  * More sensible command-line parsing by crontab.

  * Add prune-cronstamps to extra; document extra/*; general improvement
    of README and manpages.

  * Portability improvements, and defs.h now has fuller comments about
    requirements.

  * Makefile improvements: `make` now caches variables for `make install`;
don't stomp CFLAGS environment variable, and added BINDIR,SBINDIR,MANDIR.

  * Thanks to Juergen Daubert for testing and suggestions.
