If you are waiting for my okay, then go ahead and wait no more.

I still do not like the current form of the patch, even if it was essentially my work, but I have bigger fish to fry: I am chasing down two other regressions on `master`, I have to move that `git status -vvp` topic along, and I have to get the index-helper to run on Windows. Before even coming back to the "unsigned long -> time_t" patch series.

So in this case, "it works" has to be good enough for me, I guess.

Ciao, Dscho
