It should actually be straightforward to softfork RCLTV in as a negative CLTV.
All nLockTime are >= any negative number, so a negative number makes CLTV a 
no-op always. Therefore, it is clean to define negative numbers as relative 
later. It's also somewhat obvious to developers, since negative numbers often 
imply an offset (eg, negative list indices in Python).
