Date fields and libpq....

Hi there,
    I am doing a query on a date field and would like the answer in
epoch time as apposed to a string.  I am using PQgetvalue(res,i,0) and
can successfully get the string date as a response.  Is it possible to
get an epoch result or do I have to write my own routine to parse the
string into the tm struct so I can use mktime to get the epoch.  The
latter solution seems quite a hassle and if anyone has a better
solution, please let me know.  Thanks have a good weekend.
