FWIW, you don't have to go for webbug, it's enough that you put your
own cron_handler() function in frequently accessed PHP file. May also
use auto_prepend_file feature
<http://in2.php.net/ini.core#ini.auto-prepend-file>, (but it's a
discouraged approach). But, as you said, it's like reinventing the
wheel.
Possibly, the pure PHP solution is to use sleep() function and set
the maximum execution time to 0 (no limit) and to use it in command
line (so, that it doesn't use webserver resources).
