This was 200 in the original version. I doubt that it makes a
difference, but I think in a refactoring patch I think it is best to
simply reorganize and make no other changes.

+static unsigned long approximation(const char *date, const struct timeval *tv)

I know it's static, but this is a terribly undescriptive function name.
Approximation of what?  Can we call it approxidate_internal or
something?
