STRPTIME method missing from TIME class, in win32 ?

[Werner Geuens]

A very basic method, STRPTIME, seem to be missing from the Win32
distributions. Both 1.5.2 and 2.0 lack this method. A bit weird, considering
an ill supported platform such as OS/2 has the method in it's 1.5.x release.

The tutorials mensions "This function may not be defined on all platforms.".

Can someone give me a sane explanation WHY ?
