   Ummm ... don't think it's that easy.

   Most of the code I've ever writ for dealing with
   datetime has lots of vars in each individual
   function for doing manipulations/math on datetimes.
   They are not 'time_t' but generic 32-bit ints.
   Simply creating a 'time_t' ain't gonna fix it.
   You'd have to look, see, THINK, about each function
   and judge which vars were being used for datetime
   stuff, or not.

   This sort of thing, and the scale/scope of the issue,
   is why I say an "AI" fixer-upper is gonna be needed.

   As for the subject line - 'Rust' is as OK as lots
   of other languages. Just seems, well, redundant.
   Too little Real Stuff gained. Stick to 'C'.
