DJGPP does indeed have strftime.  However, it does not work exactly
the same as in some Linux flavors.  I believe there is some
information on this in some of the tex info documents.  It is not
at all clear how the TZ environmental variable interacts with mktime()
and with strftime().  It is not clear on any Unix system either.
