Comment:

 See branch "unsigned-time_t" in my public repo for a build warning that
 systems with unsigned time_t are not likely to work well with Tor, and a
 fix for this particular issue.

 I suggest that we take only the warning for 0.2.4, and the fix for 0.2.5.
 The only ''living'' platform I've heard about where time_t is unsigned is
 OpenVMS, which we've never actually worked to the best of my knowledge.  I
 don't think this represents a regression for any platform where Tor would
 otherwise work.
