Bug fixes and enhancements.

Bugs:
(1) no longer allow empty jobs
(2) strip the header added by crontab package used in openSuSE and SuSE
(3) try not to leak temp files when things go wrong
(4) issue returning job names under certain conditions

Enhancements:
(1) Allow all special times not just reboot.
(2) Fail earlier by performing more input validation
(3) Add feature to allow removing cron file under /etc/cron.d

ToDo:
(1) Validate times (minute, hour, ...)
(2) Strip white space from fields such as name and job such that name=foo equals name=' foo'.
(3) More testing

# Cron Plugin: The goal of this plugin is to provide an indempotent method for
# setting up cron jobs on a host. The script will play well with other manually
# entered crons. Each cron job entered will be preceded with a comment
# describing the job so that it can be found later, which is required to be
# present in order for this plugin to find/modify the job.
#
# This module is based on python-crontab by Martin Owens.
