[phobos] Tango and the new time lib

[Walter Bright]

Years ago, the lawyers told me that "I've never looked at that source 
code" is an effective defense for parallel evolution. Things get a lot 
harder if one has. That's why I never look at, say, the gcc source code.

What I'd really like to see is Tango move to the Boost license as well. 
This will eliminate this regrettable problem of incompatible licenses, 
which is holding D back. The "two standard libraries" comes up every 
single time D gets mentioned in other forums, and it's a convenient 
excuse people use for not looking further at D.
