Follow-up Comment #1, bug #11668 (project findutils):
Date and time specifications should conform to the "textual date
representations that GNU programs accept" (according to file utils info).
This would allow for -atime "5 seconds ago", or -mtime -'2004-12-24',
although it might be better to use different option names, such as '-adate'.
This would not solve the -newerXY issue, but I would consider it more elegant
to use something like -adate -$(get_mtime /some/file), given that get_mtime
were a command or shell function that returns the modification time of a
file.
