The time formatting features are for apr_time_t, and should require

then you have to use the ANSI standard functions.  Essentially, using a
time_t in an apr_time_t function just won't work, and it shouldn't
work.  As for the file stat fields, just move those to time_t instead of
apr_time_t, and the problem goes away too.


I'm strongly against lossy time formats for apr_finfo_t.

-1 for going to seconds in mtime/ctime/atime.  Unless we really go nutz
and turn them into sec/usec tm values.  [Ick.]

Ultimately, we must be able to roundtrip from a stat() into a utime()
style call without loosing the old value... at least down to the usec.
Many systems will track file times down to the msec, at a minimum.


Doesn't Posix require these fields to be in seconds?
