Well, my SUSE here uses ISC cron 4.1 and still does the above.
It's rather simple, actually:
They have a regular cron job that just uses the timestamps of 'marker
files' to keep track of the hourly, daily, weekly and monthly jobs.
Not much magic involved, just a bit of scripting.
In that script, they state the concept is similar to Red Hat and
debian, so those should have corresponding capabilities, btw.
