/*
    These use POSIX functions that are not available on all platforms,
    and where they are they may be partially or incorrectly implemented.
    A number of lightweight alternatives are supplied, but generally
    timezone support is only available if the OS supplies it.

    A particular problem is the setting of the timezone TZ on Unix/Linux.
    POSIX appears to require it, yet many Linux systems do not set it
    and do not give the correct results/crash strftime if it is not set.
    We use unsetenv() to work around this: that is a BSD construct but
    seems to be available on the affected platforms.
