I do think we should perhaps import the vendor tree to contrib/stdtime or
some such and then apply our local patches from libc to there.  Alternatively,
we could move the the files from libc into suitable locations in contrib/stdtime
and then do an 'svn merge --record-only' to bootstrap the vendor mergeinfo
for the current version and use that as a basis for updating?
