It seems that the current compromise solution seems to be acceptable to a 
large number of people:

* Remove NOTIFY stuff from the "top_of_minute" timer, into a second timer.
* Allow user to modify timeout interval of that second timer via 
  /SET NOTIFY_INTERVAL
* Add a #define in config.h which will set an absolute minimum value of
  /SET NOTIFY_INTERVAL, so that the user can be assured that a script will
  not set a value lower than they wish to have.
* The default value of this #define will be 60 for backward compatability.

Of course with every compromise, not everybody got everything they wanted,
but this seems to be very much in the middle of what everybody hoped for.
