[phobos] Bug somewhere in core.posix.sys.time

[Masahiro Nakagawa]

This problem has been reported in d.learn.

http://lists.puremagic.com/pipermail/digitalmars-d-learn/2010-May/017087.html

Other modules also have same problem(e.g. core.sys.posix.pthread,  
std.windows.*).

Some posix modules may work on Windows if user uses INTERIX(I didn't try).
So, I think module selection using version statement on user side is  
better than pragma insertion to each modules.
