Bug#363558: syntax highlighting for crontab doesn't support the % feature

[Bas Zoetekouw]

Package: vim
Version: 1:6.4-007+1
Severity: minor

Cron has an obscure feature that makes it feed everything after a
percent sign in a crontab entry as stdin to the command.  To use a
real percent sign in a crontab, it therefore needs to be escaped (\%).
It would be nice if this would be made clear by the syntax
highlighting of crontabs, e.g., by making everything after the first
percent sign a different color.
