Slight patch for Cron

[Ronald Landheer-Cieslak]

I've "developed" an insignificant patch to cron (attached) that makes cron 
detach from the console before forking out (under Cygwin only). The patch 
is against the current release's source and WFM.

In fact, my "problem" was that when starting cron from the "startup 
programs", a console window stuck around. This fixes that.
