Basically, in Unix I always use this code for general assumptions:
if ( tm.year < 32 )
tm.year = tm.year + 100;
This allows a simple check for anything less than 32 implying that if
the tm.year value is less than 32, the implied value is a 2000 year

That could be useful for generalizing the handling of 2 digit years.
PS: the reason most Unix heads use 32 as the cross-over point is
that's when the current 32 bit date field rolls over and we all die
horrible deaths as programmers :).
