Just like MAL said, it fixes warnings from missing prototypes. Eg. the
<time.h> (I think) on Linux (glibc 2.x, at least) doesn't declare
'strptime()' unless __USE_XOPEN is true. (__USE_XOPEN is defined if
_XOPEN_SOURCE is defined, by <features.h>.)

Agreed, unless someone can explain a) what _GNU_SOURCE adds that
_XOPEN_SOURCE does not, and b) why that's necessary (if so).
