This patch hits the needs of people having problems with anacron
hanging.

For the issues with hanging, and causing a notification if anacron is
still running long after it should be, I think a separate process is in
order. I could not find any way within upstart to do this, so I wrote a
short script to launch from cron daily and squawk if anacron has been
running >12 hours.

I've tried to make my script as portable as possible, but I'm not sure
how portable my ps(1) and date(1) syntax is, or on how many platforms
anacron is used.

** Patch added: "Notify if anacron seems hung"
