+  dnl On many systems, time_t is already a 64-bit type.
+  dnl On those systems where time_t is still 32-bit, it requires kernel

+  dnl is work in progress; see

+  dnl   - __time64_t on 64-bit mingw and on MSVC (since MSVC 8).
+  dnl But when compiling with -D__MINGW_USE_VC2005_COMPAT, time_t is an
+  dnl alias of __time64_t.
+  dnl And when compiling with -D_USE_32BIT_TIME_T, time_t is an alias of
