Well, for most cases, for what you are wanting from -1G, you could use
-1024M.  If you want to be precise though (and are lazy and don't want
to fire up a calculator), use the shell to do your math, so
-$((1024*1024*1024))c.

Since the standard says the -size option works on block sizes and rounds
up to the next whole block size, I don't think you'd get GNU find to
change (even though the k, M, and G suffixes are non-standard
extensions).  You're best bet would be to implement a new option like
-bytes or some such.
