 Not really :(

 Fair enough.  I'll use 1900 as a place holder for now.

I'm seeing another issue now, where if any org contact has a birthday
pre 1970, I get the error Bad sexp at line xxx   Does this work
for anyone else?

I'm on Windows 7 runing native build of Emacs CVS and 23.2.1.  My
org-mode is less than a week old.

This is probably related to the same problem as discussed in this
thread:

on the limitations of unix time (whether on Unix or not...).
