Comment (by viboes):

 Hi,

 I believed that just changing the clock_string<system_clock>::since() for
 windows will be enough. However, if we want to be able to read a
 time_point output generated by a Windows machine from a Linux machine the
 parser needs to be aware of the differences.

 An alternative is to use always "since Jan 1, 1900" and adapt the
 operators << and >> only on Windows machines. What do you think?
