Represent NTP's origin time

NTP represents time stamps by counting seconds from January 1 1900, but
my Emacs doesn't seem to be able to represent this:

    (encode-time (parse-time-string "1902-01-01T00:00-00:00"))
    => (-32745 59520)
    (encode-time (parse-time-string "1900-01-01T00:00-00:00"))
    => (error "Specified time is not representable")

Do we have some "standard" workaround?
