Another note that I just remembered, rather annoying at that. You will need
to set the TZ variable before you start Windows, unless you happen to live
in the Pacific time zone. This is really only important if you want your
ticket expiration times to look reasonable when converted from time_t-format
to a broken-out time. Also, if you set your TZ variable incorrectly (e.g.,
leave off the hours-from-UCT-offset) you will get a divide-by-zero exception
the first time any library function calls an MSVC time function. (This will
most likely be from mktime or ftime; mktime is called by win_time_get_epoch
and such.) There is no convenient workaround for this, you just have to make
sure your TZ variable is correct. (Or bitch at Microsoft about the supreme
quality of their development tools...)
