You've found bugs in my proposed std.datetime? If you have, please point them 
out so that I can fix them. I'm unaware of any bugs. The only questions that I'm 
aware of are whether it fully works on Mac OS X and FreeBSD. It had problems on 
Mac OS X, but I think that they're fixed with the svn version of druntime. I have 
no idea what FreeBSD's status is though. It _should_ work, but unless someone 
tries it out, there's no way to know.

In any case, you've found bugs, please point them out. I can't fix it if I don't 
know that it's broken.
