This is what's keeping me from going further. I did run the test suite
against the latest version with no problem. I think making the current time
module call out to a new strptime module is the wrong way to do things,
especially given past practice (socket/_socket, string/strop, etc). I would
prefer a time.py module be created to hold Brett's strptime function. On
import, the last thing it would try doing is to import * from _time, which
would obliterate Brett's Python version if the platform supports strptime().

That's well beyond the scope of this patch. I'd rather not address it at
this point (at least not on this thread). I'd prefer to just focus on how
best to add strptime() to platforms without a libc version.
