It took me a minute to figure out why this was a problem, but you're
right. I don't really like the idea of combining time_now and
explode_localtime, though. What about some kind of deal like
apr_explode_recent_localtime() which is the same as
apr_explode_localtime() except that the input must never be older than
TIME_CACHE_SIZE seconds? Or is that too httpd-tailored? If so, no sweat,
make it an ap_ function instead of an apr_ function.
