I need to convert a time, expressed in /mm/dd hh:mm:ss form, into a
floating point.
The conversion has to be done in GMT, but the real point is, the conversion
must NOT change due to daylight savings time.
Ocaml seems to have only one conversion function, however: Unix.mktime,
which takes a ti
If you want a fine-grained timezones and daylight saving times handling, you

Thanks to all!
I see, I am glad there are good alternative libraries!
For my problem, I preferred to avoid having dependence on one more library
for only 10 lines of code, so I wrote some code to do the conversion. It
works only for dates after 1970, and it is somewhat inelegant; it is here:
