... and here's a quick followup regarding the second option:
patching the seconds based functions in NewtonScript as a proof of
concept looks quite ok, alarms seem to go off as they should, but the
alarm soup will in any case need some special treatment: Either the
patch is applied when the alarm soup is empty, or a pre-patch is used
to adjust the entries in the alarm soup to reflect the new time base.
If everything works fine, the worst case scenario is to re-enter
recurring appointments after the patch has been applied.
