Therefore, I've pushed out a fixup patch at the top of mingw.git's devel

On Linux, we compare to UTC to begin with, right? We should do that here,
too... So if time(NULL) does not return UTC on MinGW, we have to wrap
that function, too.
According to MSDN, time(NULL) returns "the number of seconds elapsed since
[epoch] according to the system clock". Please don't ask me what "the system
clock" is.
Reading the implementation of time(), it starts with GetLocalTime(),
determines whether daylight saving is in effect, and continues with another
round of timezone adjustment - mind you: _not_ a timezone reversal (!!).
Doesn't this look extremely bogus?
It seems we really need a wrapper for time().
