Hello,

are you using a recent version of CHICKEN? In my 2.212 build, the POSIX
unit contains the necessary functions:
  * There is the current-seconds function in the library unit, which
    retrieves the current utime,
  * and in the POSIX unit you find seconds->local-time, seconds->utc-time,
    seconds->string and time->string.

Support for SRFI-19 wouldn't be a bad idea, though...

cu,
Thomas
