Well, Mac is going to UNIX. Does anyone want to lay a wager on whether 
there will, in 2035~8, still be systems compiled with the old 
"typedef unsigned long time_t" or 
"typedef long time_t" running?

A more meaningful question would be as to whether anyone has heard of a 
time library that handles the various (known) epocs? That might be a fun 
project. Guess I ought to get on Google and look this up.
