Re: localtime() for win32 problem.

[Claudio Natoli <claudio(dot)natoli(at)memetrics(dot)com>]

Hmm. Looks like we are trying to "score" timezones using date/times pre
midnight, Jan 1 1970, which is a no-no for win32 (IIRC, this was a prime
motivator for rolling in a pg_timezone library).

Have to avoid this, or change pgtz.c following lines 184 and 304 to
correctly deal with a NULL return from the native localtime.

Cheers,
Claudio
