[PATCH] Changes the default size of time_t to 64 bit.

[Philipp.Trommler@preh.de]

Hi!

The threading here got a little out of hand, I try to summarize the
discussion here (the longest thread):

1. Newlib should use a 64 bit sized time_t by default.
2. All usage of long within the time directory should be replaced by 
   time_t.
3. There should be a configure option to either
   a) use a long as before or
   b) use a fixed size 32 bit integer.
4. The configure option should either
   a) contain the phrase 32 bit or
   b) contain something like compat.

The discussion led my to the point where I'd prefer 3. b) and 4. a) but
I don't feel like I'm in the position to decide that.

Regards
Philipp
