running 2.1.9 completely from crontab

I had a little problem because my provider does not allow running daemons. However, crontab is fine. Since setting up aliases does not work either and I did not want to change .procmailrc all the time, I'm using a catchall user and Maildir delivery. In order to make this work, I changed two things. diff -ur mailman-2.1.9/Mailman/Queue/MaildirRunner.py mailman-2.1.9-mod/Mailman/Queue/MaildirRunner.py --- mailman-2.1.9/Mailman/Queue/MaildirRunner.py 2005-08-27 01:40:17.000000000 +0000 +++ mailman-2.1.9-mod/Mailman/Queue/MaildirRunner.py 2007-10-06 16:08:29.000000000 +0000 @@ -123,7 +123,7 @@ # message was destined for.

The second change in qrunner is the short hack to get all pending stuff done with one run from crontab: qrunner -v -r All -o Would that be something that could be included in future releases maybe as a separate option?
