Those 4/100/400 rules mean the number of days in a (mean) year =
365 + (1/4) - (1/100) + (1/400) = 365.2425 = 31,556,952 seconds.

It would be simpler if the year was a whole number of days, but the day 
and the year are both natural cycles and we can't change that.

We could so something about the months and that %&#$! DST.
