Hmm, i see. No, i think Alpine and mutt have the better approach,
using day-of-year looks better to me, you end up with
rv = ((((localp_or_nil->tm_hour - utcp_or_nil->tm_hour) * 60) +
(localp_or_nil->tm_min - utcp_or_nil->tm_min)) * 60) +
(localp_or_nil->tm_sec - utcp_or_nil->tm_sec);
if((t = (localp_or_nil->tm_yday - utcp_or_nil->tm_yday)) != 0)
rv += (t == 1) ? su_TIME_DAY_SECS : -S(s64,su_TIME_DAY_SECS);
Seconds is likely stupid but so i am ;)
