    Something like this, without the #ifdef?

      #define TM_YEAR_IN_ASCTIME_RANGE(tm_year) \
        (ASCTIME_YEAR_MIN <= (tm_year) && (tm_year) <= ASCTIME_YEAR_MAX)

    We would have Autoconf deduce ASCTIME_YEAR_MIN and ASCTIME_YEAR_MAX by
    trying to run little test programs that crash, using binary search to
    deduce the min and max values.

We could do that, but it is undesirable for configure to actually
run a program--it interferes with cross-compilation.

So I would prefer if we just have conditionals set for certain systems
by the s/ file.
