Quick & Dirty? I found this neat and smart! :) The basic idea is that
there is an action already scheduled daily, which simply consist into:
"go to the /etc.cron.daily directory, find all executable files there
(with some restriction on their names, see the run-parts man page) and
run them in order. This means you don't have to run crontab each time
you want to change a daily (or weekly, or hourly or monthly) task.

Thus, I'd recommend to do just that, add a script there. Follow the
pattern in the others already there. Remember that cron jobs are run
with very restrictive settings, thus be sure to set in your script or
program all environment variables you need.

Enjoy
