Is this worth deleting now that struct timezone *tzp is no longer
used?
I was originally going to send a small diff changing only the line
that read, "If tp or tzp is NULL, the associated time information
will not be returned or set" since gettimeofday(&tv, NULL) works
exactly as one would expect.
I thought that it might be worth pruning this now, but if it's
still worth keeping the information around, I don't have strong
objection against keeping it either.
