Date and time is much more complicated then people guess at first. <http://taaviburns.ca/what_you_need_to_know_about_datetimes/datetime_transforms.html> <http://www.whitemiceconsulting.com/2012/10/setting-course-for-utc.html> What do you mean by "st_mtime/st_ctime doesnt jive with the file's correct date"?
