Hi,

As the list comes to life, another patch related question, who updated the
strftime patch?

I found that the thing just doesn't compile under winnt in it's old format
(hanv't because NT doesn't support the timezone the way unix does).

I replaced the

    _add(tm->tm_zone);

line by

#ifdef _WIN32
   // win95 & winNT's time.h doesn't have the
   // tm->tm_zone field so we use another approax.
   // Win95 however returns a long tzname instead
   // of the usual 3 letter tz codes.
    _tzset();
    _add(_tzname[0]);
#else
    _add(tm->tm_zone);
#endif


perhaps a good thing to add to the patch....

Furthermore didn't Microsoft Visual C++ like the regex patch in it's
standard way. The workaround for that one is longer, but if anyone is
interested in a solotion, let me know.
