I'm processing a binary file, and in that file there is a 64bit FILETIME

I would like to convert it to a somewhat more usable value, since I
eventually will need to display that value as a human readable date.
In addition to the BC_MATH package, there's some new-fangled extension to
PHP that does the same kind of stuff.
I'm not quite sure how you are going to get the 32 bytes into a string
suitable for sending *TO* either of those packages, however...
I'm guessing you'll have to read 32 bits, throw that into BC_MATH,
multiply by 0xFFFFFFFF, grab the next 32 bits, and add that in BC_MATH...
Then, you'll have to divide by 100-nanoseconds and/or subtract enough
seconds to get to whatever time format you want to use.
or, since you won't be showing it in such precision, you could cut off a
whole bunch from the end, and simply divide by a factor
10^numbers_you_let_off less :)
