Yes, I know about the time_t being different type situation, this is why I just threw this out as an example how it is working on my platform. If we include <time.h>, wouldn't we also swig-bind all the time functions ? This is why I did not do that. Anyway, this is why I'd like to have a swig expert look at this.
