[RFC] changing sms.validity/sms.deferred to unix timestamp

Hi list,

i would be like to ask, why are validity and deferred in kannel in minutes 
instead of e.g. unix timestamp. I can see that all driver convert this to 
unix timestamp like this: gw_localtime(...) + validity*60...

Second point is that if message can't be send immediately (e.g. Link was 
offline) then our validity and deferred values are not correct, because we 
allways increase our localtime with validity/deferred value.

I believe, deferred/validity values must be absolut instead of relativ to 
sendtime...

Should we change validity and deferred values to unix timestamps to avoid 
unnecessary converting and wrong values?

Comments please ...
