I think we should lose the C version of strptime and use strptime.py everywhere now -- allowing x-platform accidents to sneak thru is un-Pythonic (unless they're valuable x-platform accidents -- strptime accidents are random crap).

Guess what. Through clever use of the time-machine, we are using _strptime.py everwhere now. There's an #undef HAVE_STRPTIME in timemodule.c.
