We¹d use a time_t (or put the value into a time_t) so that it can be used
by the time functions.  I think time_t is 32 or 64 bits depending on the
platform.

Essentially we¹d take the time_t and pass it to localtime_r which would
return a Œstruct tm¹ in the proper timezone at query time.  We wouldn¹t
store the Œstruct tm¹ since it would differ depending on what the timezone
is at query time.
