+/*
+ * Implementation notes:
+ *
+ * 1. the time is stored as a 64bit integer containing the signed number of
+ *    milliseconds since Jan 1. 1970 (the Unix Epoch) - so it is always
+ *    expressed in GMT.
+ *
+ * 2. the range is thus something about 580 million years, but due to current
+ *    algorithms limitations, only dates from Nov 24, 4714BC are handled
+ *
+ * 3. standard ANSI C functions are used to do time calculations whenever
+ *    possible, i.e. when the date is in the range Jan 1, 1970 to 2038
+ *
+ * 4. otherwise, the calculations are done by converting the date to/from JDN
+ *    first (the range limitation mentioned above comes from here: the
+ *    algorithm used by Scott E. Lee's code only works for positive JDNs, more
+ *    or less)
+ *
+ * 5. the object constructed for the given DD-MM-YYYY HH:MM:SS corresponds to
+ *    this moment in local time and may be converted to the object
+ *    corresponding to the same date/time in another time zone by using
+ *    ToTimezone()
+ *
+ * 6. the conversions to the current (or any other) timezone are done when the
+ *    internal time representation is converted to the broken-down one in
+ *    wxDateTime::Tm.
