As I understand it, tm_year == year-1900 so the year 2000 will be 100.
isn't this going to get rather confusing every time we do a "touch"
or whatever? wouldn't it be better to have a superset-definition such as:

year-1900  (year<1900)
year       (year>1900)

so that 2000 can be represented either as 2000 or 100 ?

Peter
