Again, I quite disagree and believe that you are confusing two different
things. It makes perfect sense in certain applications to store time as
relative to the UNIX epoch. But that's not the same as time_t which is a
specific type for a *system* interface. I'm strongly question the
sensibility of trying to put dates before 1970 in the context of time_t.
