systemd-coredump alternatives?

Just wondering if there are any good alternatives to the `systemd-coredump` functionality. Specifically I really like that the systemd implementation:

* stores dumps centrally * handles rotation of dumps so we don't exhaust all the disk space * provides an easy way to attach `gdb` to a dump (`coredumpctl debug -1`)

Basically I want every crash to log a core dump, for debugging purposes, but I don't want to have to manage them, so I can use them when they're useful and forget about them entirely the rest of the time.

Before I smash something together using `cron`, `sysctl` and some scripts I'm interested in hearing if there are any non-Systemd alternatives out there.
