Andrey Semashev has pulled together a number of patches to address 
backed-up date-time tickets. He has tested them on Linux and Windows. 
The arrangement was that Jeff Garland would look them over, but Jeff 
just isn't finding the time to do that.

I've taken a look at a few of the proposed fixes. Without knowing 
anything about date-time, these seem like problems that really should 
have been fixed some time ago.The proposed patches I looked at seemed 
fine. So I think it is important we break the log jam.

Proposal:

* We give Andrey write permission.

* He starts moving these fixes into trunk right away.

* Anyone who cares about data-time watch the commits carefully, and 
discuss any issues with Andrey.

* Once Andrey is satisfied with trunk test results, he asks permission 
to merge to release.

* Unless there has been undue delay or issues have come up, we will give 
permission for this release.

* I'm willing to hold the release a few days; in aggregate this is an 
important set of overdue fixes to a major library so I'd like to see 
them go in this release.
