There is already a time-separator variable in globals and its used in
regexes throughout.  The problem is that if you change it, it breaks
something else.  I have not had time to chase down what causes that.

# Character used like the ":" in time strings like
# 2002-08-06T04:22:00-07:00.  The colon isn't good for filenames on
# windows machines.
time_separator = ":"

I believe a previous post had another character as well as the colon
that would cause Windows problems, just can't remember right now.
