I've implemented something along this idea, using APPT_WARNTIME instead
to make sure this is only useful when adding the entry to the list of
apptointment with `appt-add'.

Also, "W" is a new speedy command to insert this property quickly.

Please test and report any problem.

Note that Emacs >=23.3 is needed for this to work properly.

Thanks for this idea!
