Brian, 

If you (or Bill) could post his, I might profit by it.  I set aside
datetime work I was doing when he posted his notice; I might steal some
code or try applying some of the patch locally.  I'm unaccountably keen on
seeing datetime issues become a thing of the past, go figure.  

The iconv patch would also be interesting, but as a BSD user I'm not much
use in generalizing it.  Others might be, though?  

I have *no* objection, if you want to apply things yourself.  I am also
willing to try myself and consult with you if questions arise.  As you
like. 

Regards,
