OK, you've convinced me that fixed step sizes are useful in some cases.
I've added back the option to have fixed step sizes. With the attached
patch, you can select a minimum step size from 1s to 60s and also an
acceleration rate of "off" or from 2x/15s to 2x/1s, as in the current
CVS. Both the step size and acceleration rate fit in 4 bits so they are
both saved into a single byte in the RTC/disk. I've also cleaned up the
ff/rewind code to get rid of the gratuitous code duplication.
