Well... on *third* thought, targets may redefine time_t via redefining
_TIME_T_.  Targets not doing that will get long, so yeah, you're right.
Maybe it is safer to use always strtoll_l and just break this down to
time_t on the way.

No, I was just trying to be thorough.  errno is fine, just include
errno.h.

Right, I forget that when I typed the above.

Hmm, yes, ok, that makes sense.
