Cron's been deprecated since 10.5, I believe, and new systems seem to come 
without 
a system crontab. I just tried 

sudo touch /etc/crontab

to create one and CronniX happily shows the system crontab afterwards. I 
believe 
tasks are still being triggered even though the maintenance stuff was moved to 
launchd.

D'Oh! Never thought to just use touch. Although I wasn't sure where to put the 
file. So Thanks for the help. In the 
meantime, I did what Apple wants, and made a launch Daemon (using Lingon).
It apparently worked. So happy either way.
