Hmph.  I was wondering if that was really portable or not :-(.
Any ideas about a quick-and-dirty replacement?

Maybe we could call abstimein or something like that.  We just want to
convert a human-readable string value to a time_t, and I can't say that
I thought the strptime behavior was all that friendly anyway...
