I had not. But I just tried to find a newer version, and found one on
  <ftp://ftp.roedu.net/pub/mirrors/gentoo.org/distfiles/vixie-cron-4.1.tar.bz2>

I glanced at the code in this file, and it seems to handle the case of
time-shifts. It also already has the Cygwin-specific fix that changes
the standard streams. Maybe this code could be directly used in Cygwin?

Thanks.
