mktime is part of both the C standard and POSIX. POSIX extends the C 
standard by saying that time_t is an integer type (the C standard allows 
time_t to be a floating-point type) and that time_t counts non-leap 
seconds since the Epoch (the C standard doesn't say what time_t counts, 
thought it implies that it counts seconds from some origin, which may 
not be 1970).

Yes, that's the direction we're headed.
