  cron runs to be logged (watchdog).
* The time period poormanscron waits after an error before retrying is now
  configurable.
* Changed the time interval selection box to a textfield, which allows the
  user more fine-grained control of the time settings.
* Changed most "strings" to 'strings'.
* Added a missing t() around a string.
* Minor cosmetic fixes.

Fixed the coding style a bit to better comply to the Drupal coding standards.
