Re: [PATCH 0/4] replace unsinged long with time_t

In theory, some platform might have a 64-but "unsigned long long" time_t 
even if the architecture is 32-bit (apparently windows used to do that if 
you included <time64.h>, for example), but since we wouldn't take advantage 
of that anyway, even then there is no real advantage.

It could also be worth to notice that there are even 64-bit architectures that 
feature 32-bit 'time_t'...
