I would suggest that you also take into account whether time_t is signed or
not (more difficult perhaps). Some platforms use signed time_t to allow
representation of dates prior to 1970-01-01, while others make this signed.
Some other platforms (S/390 for example) have retained time_t as 32-bits but
have a time64_t for 64 bits. It might be useful to account for this.
