Comment (by JoseJX):

 I've looked into that a bit.  Basically, you'll need to make g_hash do
 time_t hashing, since time_t can be 64 bit or 32 bit, but shouldn't be too
 hard as long as the pointer size is the same as time_t (you can use
 g_direct_hash).  The more difficult part is adding preferences loading and
 storage and ensuring that all uses compare with time_t instead of the int
 type.

 It seemed much simpler to just modify the interface as I've done here, I
 don't think I have the time to figure out how the preferences system
 works, sorry.
