In my own defense of not mentioning "modify the source", that is *always* an
option.  It is especially implied in the open source.  It is one of the
principle reasons for having open source in the first place!

That said, I quite like the general idea of adding some type of policy
enforcement to cron.  It reminds me of httpd' suexec.  It has several such
restrictions on the binary it executes.
