Really Quick Instructions
-------------------------
To build: ./make.sh
To install: ./make.sh install
(you might want to set PREFIX, by default it's /usr/local)
Rationale
---------
Why this and not the standard `at' suite?
1) Deals with non-monotonic time (unfortunately this means we have to
wake up once every so often to check if our time is too far out).
2) Simpler specification of timestamp (uses ISO8601).
3) Allows redirection of stdin from a file which is automatically
deleted.
4) Flexible user control through use of Uinx sockets.
