Enable timestamps to use alternative hours

Hey @autotelik. Thanks for the contribution! I had been thinking about a configuration object like this. I'm trying to avoid dependencies on rails for this gem and I see you reference ActiveSupport. Is there a way to avoid that?

The problem you're solving feels like clock-drift or time-zone. I'd rather not have two properties for house and minutes. I'd prefer to either have a clock-drift property which would be minutes or a timezone attribute that would compare based on timestamp. All timestamps from the gem right now are UTC, which is lowest common denominator.

Can you explain your scenario more?

hi ... really, sorry, no idea how this ended up here .. this was supposed to just be a local fix in our fork

[autotelik]

for info we had some funny issues on Ubuntu where CRM would reject messages due to timestamp issue but could not resolve via setting the various times in Linux.

There did not seem a way to trigger usage of your original methods like get_current_time_plus_hour so was an attempt to create a configurable way to over ride the defaul timestamps

@autotelik I like the idea of making timing checks being expanded but these properties don't feel quite right. I like the configuration object but we shouldn't need rails for it.
