But that problem is already present if you try to link your VS2005 code to the
mingw build, isn't it? Respectively you will run into this problem when
upgrading to the MSVCC  build version 8.3.

Anyway, my original message was only intended as a comment, since I have no
idea whether time_t is only used internally or whether it's publically
exposed.
