Recalling the thread I thought the best solution would have been
the OpenBSD approach with a little logic in cron(8) to not start
a single cronjob multiple times (or even better: to start it
exactly once by even starting it when its time frame is skipped
in this special night). Extending the program's code would make
*any* time in crontab work -- even the previously setup one. :)
