There's no way to rely on struct tm and ANSI C for the functionality,
because struct tm and C do not provide the functionality. When they do
(e.g. for strftime), I've used those functions.

GDate is Y2K compliant though. It actually works up to the year 65535 or
so.:-) (Though I have no idea why you'd want it to...)
