rc.d/cron appears to ignore rcvar "cron_program" -- intentional?

Ah, I thought it was an /etc/crontab type of situation.

So it sounds like what you were already thinking of doing was writing a
little script that exports that envar and then execs /usr/sbin/cron.
That should do it for you. Then you just change cron_program to point to
your script in /etc/rc.con[.local]. Sorry if I'm being painfully
obvious, just want to make sure we close the loop.
