GAE is not supported at the moment, but only because I don't use it and there was no particular interest in it so far. If GAE has no means of starting cron-style or long running processes, soft cron should stil work, provided someone implements a locking mechanism that works with GAE. The current implementation uses file operations as they are universal on all platforms (i.e. move file is atomic - that's what the infamous cron.master is for). Now, AFAIK this would not work on GAE, but if you give/write an example that would replace that conditional in a GAE-friendly way it should be no fus to gain cron on GAE out of the box.
