## The integral part, @code{floor (now)} corresponds to the number of days

## The following doesn't work (e.g., one hour off on 2005-10-04):
##
## seconds since 1970-1-1 corrected by seconds from GMT to local time
## divided by 86400 sec/day plus day num for 1970-1-1
## t = (time - mktime(gmtime(0)))/86400 + 719529;
##
## mktime (gmtime (0)) does indeed return the offset from Greenwich to the
## local time zone, but we need to account for daylight savings time
## changing by an hour the offset from CUT for part of the year.
