While implementing it I thought more about it. P4D is only
supported on platforms that support the date function. That means
these tests will only run on platforms that support the date
function. Consequently I wondered if this would justify the
slightly more complicated code. However, if you think this change
would help the patch to get accepted then I will add it.
I don't feel strongly about it, and it's not my call anyhow. Opinions
of Junio, Peff (as interim maintainer), and Luke weigh much more
heavily than my own. Punting on dynamic detection of "date +%s" may be
perfectly acceptable with the attitude that it can be implemented
later if someone runs across a case where it's actually needed.
Which other platforms are we talking about here?

From there, you can get Solaris10, HP-UX, AIX and various flavours of
BSD. Solaris supports "date +%s".
HP-UX and AIX, I really don't know.
Windows? I assume 'date +%s' will work for people using mingw.
Is it possible to get the time in seconds by doing something like this:
time_in_seconds() {
python -c 'import time; print time.time()'
}
