AFAIK this should mostly "just happen" for those 32bit systems that have
a 64bit time_t.
BTW, the funny part of this discussion is that the problem has existed
"for ever". It just so happens that there is now a bunch of
"easy" OS-level solutions. The magical 2208988800 constant is the
"standard solution" that I was looking for (I knew it had to exist
because it had not OS-level solution for at least 30 years).
