TODO BEFORE comp.sources RELEASE:
* Get everything except usno date copyrighted.
* Should /etc/zoneinfo/GMT0 change to /etc/zoneinfo/GMT, with the
necessary change to the newctime.3 manual page? If it is changed,
all the GMT0's can disappear from localtime.c.
* Gotta get "date.c" up to speed, and must conditionalize "logwtmp.c"
for the System V world.
In particular, how to handle ambiguous 10-character arguments to date
such as
date 0102030405
where it's unclear whether the year is at the start (UCB style)
or the end (System V style)? Also--toss in a "-a" (adjust time)
option for the Sun world?
* Could use a date manual page.
* Need to update the newctime.3 to describe the treatment of TZ's such
as "Guy Mean Time", if it's decided that the treatment is reasonable.
* Turn most everything into version "5.1".

allow checking in an ANSI-style environment, and such checking is now done with
gcc.
And the "dyzise" has disappeared; it was present to allow compilation of the
"date" command on old BSD systems, and a version of "date" is now provided in
the package.
Since POSIX frowns on correct leap second handling, the default behavior of
the "zic" command (in the absence of a "-L" option) has been changed to omit
leap second information from its output files.
