[Anthill] More versatile scheduling?

Hi,
  I've recently started using anthill to schedule a series of
regular builds but can't see a way to schedule builds at a
particular time of day (and on a particular day of the week).
For example, I want to do a twice daily build of the cutting
edge codebase. I want to start a build at midnight so that it's
ready for developers when they're in a 9am (or 10 or 11 ;-) ).
In the same way I want to start a build at midday so that it's
ready for mid afternoon use (and fixing).

Our build/test cycle takes about 3 hours so using the current
anthill scheduling, I could certainly set the first build to
start at midday and have 9 hour intervals but this is prone to
skewing when a build occasionally fails or takes much longer to
complete.

Are there any plans to add more flexible scheduling features like
"Start at a certain time of day" and "Start at a certain time of
day on a certain day of the week"?

Cheers,
Edwin.
