Or, you know, the mktimeconst.c I've posted to this list several times  
over the past few years as part of the perl removal series I maintain?  
Most recently  
http://lkml.indiana.edu/hypermail/linux/kernel/1212.2/00729.html but  
before that rather a lot of times (list at  
http://lkml.indiana.edu/hypermail/linux/kernel/1212.2/00734.html) and  
the newest version of which is always at:

http://landley.net/hg/aboriginal/file/tip/sources/patches

I just updated them for 3.8. The mktimeconst one is attached to this  
message.

(I'm told the balsa email program manages to break whitespace in  
attachments. I'm aware how sad that is. I'm writing a darn python  
script to send mail inline without doing that. I'll repost the series  
with that. My first attempt at that script is why the posts I linked to  
above have my name mangled. Working on it...)
