  Gnulib module: strftime-fixes
  
  Portability problems fixed by Gnulib:
  @itemize
  @item
  On native Windows platforms (mingw, MSVC), this function works incorrectly
  when the environment variable @code{TZ} has been set by Cygwin.
  @end itemize
  
  Portability problems not fixed by Gnulib:
  @itemize
  @item
  The Windows C runtime library (which is used by MinGW) does not
  support the %e specifier (and possibly the other more recent SUS
  specifiers too, i.e., %C, %D, %h, %n, %r, %R, %t, and %T).
  @item
  Native Windows platforms (mingw, MSVC) support only a subset of time
  zones supported by GNU or specified by POSIX.  @xref{tzset}.
  @end itemize
  
  Extension: Gnulib offers a module @samp{strftime} that provides an
  @code{nstrftime} function with various GNU extensions.
