Right, I added

utils/time.h

which declares and documents

nserror nsc_snptimet(char *str, size_t size, time_t *timep);
int nsc_sntimet(char *str, size_t size, time_t *timep);

Hope thats acceptable to everyone. They use the troublesome
str(p|f)time on unix where present and less "correct" methods
elsewhere.

Printing and reading time_t directly appears to be a bit of a missing
bit of the specification, hence the non-standard extensions.
