	It's actually not so hard (how-you-say, :P), just a little tedious,
because you need to know a few details about lengths of months
and so on to, eg, determine that Feb 1 2000 is the 32-nd day of
the year.

	Seems like this maybe less relevant than it appears at first,
since for example the docs specify that the month is 1-12 in
the Python time module although it's 0-11 in C.

	It does appear that Monday is 0; I bet this is the same
in Python under Linux, in spite of what the Linux docs say.

	I bet not.
