Hello,

I am a newbie here. So I've been watching your threads for a moment
now.

I use to work on a "Year 2000 compliance" project. The way to do it is 
to make the software rely on the ANSI implementation rightness,
i.e. use standard date management system. If you do not use these
structs + funcs, you do rely on the OS (in a marketing sense) on a
date point of view.

IMHO, should be better to use (at least internally) the struct tm &
its folks.

PS: I'd like to contribute to gtk+. Actually I have a number of ideas
concerning useful & nice widgets. Any advice ?
