Subject: Timers, scheduling and Ruby

Ok, since the original post migh just appear in a month's time, lets 
rephrase the question:

I'm building a set of tools for build and test management (yes, yes, it 
will do DamagaControl's work and yes, yes it will be released...and yes, 
this is code that is used in real-life projects - it's all so close to 
public alpha status).
Now, I can leave scheduling to cron (or at/schtasks), but it would be 
nice to provide an interface so that scheduling can be set in the 
application via some administration console.
Behind the scenes cron manipulation is too flaky for my tastes (and for 
windows I would need a separate implementation).
So, is there a library that will give me timers, a nice way to configure 
them and a nice event driven interface? :)
Cheers,
V.-
