Lucky me.  =)

> Python 2.3-cvs (with #undef HAVE_STRPTIME hard-coded):

Just for future reference, you can just import ``_strptime`` and use
``_strptime.strptime()`` instead of having to fiddle with ``time``.

OK, so I will take a look, but if anyone beats me to a solution I will
have no qualms about it.  =)
