Comment (by derekmartin):
I'd like to suggest a differernt fix for this, with the following
properties:
- Simplifies mutt_mktime() greatly
- uses the system mktime()
- removes an additional function (compute_tz())
- provides an alternative implementation of mutt_local_tz()
- should eliminate the overflow
- dispenses with the awful macro to get time_t's max value, which
produces warnings on MacOS
- produces identical results to the original implementation of
mutt_mktime()
- Tests correctly with the test program I attached to bug #3890.
