[hobbit] longer ack alerts

[Jones, Jason (Altrincham)]

This may sound like a really stupid and obvious question but how do I
apply this patch? :$ the person who used to handle hobbit left about a
month ago and I never was never told how to

Jason.

It's not quite what you want, but the attached patch lets you enter the
time as "6h" (6 hours) or "2d8h" (2 days + 8 hours).

That would need some more code in the bb-ack CGI to reject the too-long
acks. Some sort of configuration mechanism would also be needed to set
the maximum time - either globally, or per-host.
