Description:
It would be spiffy to have a symlink in /usr/bin/ pointing "crontab" to "fcrontab", for compatibility with users used to other cron systems.

Steps to reproduce:
Install a non-fcron cron, run crontab - works!
Install fcron, run crontab - no work. :(

Attached a patch agains the current PKGBUILD.
   fcron-crontab-symlink.patch (0.5 KiB)

Reason for closing:  Won't implement
Additional comments about closing:  When changing a cron daemon people usually should read a bit of it's documentation anyway. People who really need this symlink may create it locally at their machines.
