       an official declaration.

       Libpng only has three year fields.  One is a 2-byte unsigned integer
       that will hold years up to 65535.  The other two hold the date in text
       format, and will hold years up to 9999.

       The integer is
           "png_uint_16 year" in png_time_struct.

       The strings are
           "png_charp time_buffer" in png_struct and
           "near_time_buffer", which is a local character string in png.c.

       clock time, which returns (year - 1900), which we properly convert to
       the full 4-digit year.  There is a possibility that applications using
       libpng are not passing 4-digit years into the png_convert_to_rfc_1123()

       The tIME chunk itself is also Y2K compliant.  It uses a 2-byte unsigned
