cb23468e75 Allow 999.local to run scripts in any language
If one of the scripts listed in (daily|weekly|monthly)_local is executable,
999.local should simply execute it. Only if the script isn't executable
should 999.local assume it needs /bin/sh.

9ed55d1192 Another overhaul of the periodic stuff.
All periodic sub-scripts <larf> now have their return codes interpreted
by periodic(8).  Output may be masked based on variable values in
periodic.conf.

It's also now possible to email periodic output to arbitrary addresses,
or to send it to a log file, examples of which can be found in
newsyslog.conf.

The upshot of it all should be no discernable changes to the default
behaviour of periodic(8).

f3e285ba7d Introduce /etc/defaults/periodic.conf, similar in concept to rc.conf.
The only change in the default functionality should be that
the output reports are slightly more verbose WRT files deleted.

12c88fdf8b Copy /etc/cron.d to /etc/periodic per-request of many.
This wasn't done with a repository copy because there was no
history of any consequence.  Flames to me.
