These are a bit interesting.  According to the Single Unix Spec, %V
has been standard for strftime since at least 1997, so it's damn odd
if MS' version doesn't support that.  OTOH, %G is *not* in that standard
... should we try to avoid using that?

But it looks like all those cases are only reached if the ecpg-using
application tries to use those formats, so maybe any portability risks
there aren't our problem.  Maybe a reasonable fix is the one that's
already there for %g, ie, just prevent the gcc check from occurring.

                        

I'll make that change if Michael's happy.

cheers
