But then you have to know all the garbage about when daylight savings
time cuts in/out, leap years etc.  This solution is simple, has a
few guesses, and will work anywhere without telling it extra stuff.
It may not be terribly efficient, but probably won't be called that
often.  I like both it, and the side step to think of doing it that
way.
