PPT's find command is just a wrapper around find2perl, which apparently
does not currently support units for the -time options.

You could take the Perl code produced by find2perl and modify it to suit
your needs, but that would be a pain if you just wanted to do lots of
one-off finds.

The best solution would be having an improved find2perl...
