Check cvs log first. It has used time_t for many years.

_BSD_TIME_T_ in alpha/ansi.h has been changed from int to __int64_t.

I think getsecs() is used only to see timeout in network code,
so it would be better to make it return uint32_t which allows
wraparound, and completely remove time_t from libsa code
(except time_t values to print actual date/time).
