This Windows build issue (admittedly first introduced by me) has been hanging over our heads for much too long now so I have reduced its urgency as follows: I have made (revision 9583) the build of qsastime_testlib optional (with a default of QSASTIME_TESTLIB=OFF). This still leaves the option open for our Windows developers to investigate the Windows build issues and run-time issues for this test at their leisure but does not interfere with Windows builds for the default case. >From my point of view, the key question for the Windows developers is whether there is _any_ Windows C library variant that has a good implementations of time functions suitable for supplying a test comparison with libqsastime results over a wide! (+/- 5 million years) date range. I suspect the answer is "no". If that is confirmed we should change the CMake logic to always force QSASTIME_TESTLIB=OFF for the Windows case.
