Actually, I have some code that can convert a UTC struct tm into a
time_t without any loops[1].  Converting localtime would need a couple
of probes to handle DST.  This should be far more efficient than a
binary search.  Is there any interest in this?

[1] The date to day number core started as a FORTRAN one-liner but I
    can't find the source.  I've written C and perl versions and
    exhaustively tested them.
