Ok, I have another problem:

We have functions that convert between our mission time and
Ada.Calendar.Time.  The current implementation depends on the internal
representation of Time.  This is a pain because it must be rewritten
everytime we move to a new compile (or even a new version of the same).
 Is there a way to do this in Standard Ada?  Our mission time is the
number of seconds since an arbitrarily choosen epoch (1/1/1998) GMT.
We originally used Time_Of, but had problems because Time_Of was using
local time and did DST adjustments which were undesirable.

I hope that was clear.
