[IronPython] Two hour error in IPY implementation of time.mktime and time.gmtime

[Vernon Cole]

Good idea, Curt.
  My implementation is so Windows specific that it had not occurred to be
that this small sample is actually portable. (The very idea of doing DCOM
from a Linux box is a bit chilling. Perhaps using Iron Python on MONO?
Brrrrr!)

Here's the result on my other workstation using the built in Python (stock
Ubuntu Hardy):
v v v v v v v
2.5.2 (r252:60911, Jul 31 2008, 17:28:52)
[GCC 4.2.3 (Ubuntu 4.2.3-2ubuntu7)]
Starting with tt = (2002, 6, 28, 15, 20, 1, 4, 179, -1)
COMDate= 37435.6389005
mktime= 1025299201.0
using time.gmtime= (2002, 6, 28, 15, 20, 1, 4, 179, 0)
using datetime   =  2002-06-28 15:20:01.004000
^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^
It matches CPython on Windows exactly, at least in my time zone. Someone
should try it who does not live in USA Mountain Daylight Time.
