netsurf/utils/time.h
Vincent Sanders 0bc5d2ca4c create date and time to seconds since epoch processing utility function
currently NetSurf uses curl_getdate to convert textural date and time
strings into seconds since epoch. It is betetr to move this
functionality to a utility function so curl_getdate can easily be
replaced if required.
