Summary:                    cswcrontab action script vs the percent sign
Description: 
Mail to maintainers list from Maciej:

The cswcrontab CAS uses percent as if it was a comment.  However, the
percent is not a comment; the way cron works is it pipes everything
after the percent into the command being run.

More information: http://www.hcidata.info/crontab.htm

I think we need to mark the cswcrontab entries by a magic comment
above the crontab line.

I've reworked cswcrontab.  It now uses a comment in the previous line, for
instance:

# Added by cswcrontab for CSWfoo
30 * * * * /opt/csw/bin/something

Here's the change:

The change has been tested with one package.  It needs some more testing.
