[GNUnet-SVN] r14919 - gnunet/src/util

[gnunet]

Author: nevans
Date: 2011-04-07 18:07:47 +0200 (Thu, 07 Apr 2011)
New Revision: 14919

Modified:
   gnunet/src/util/time.c
Log:
I finally figured out why this function was so unintuitive to me.  Hence 
indicates a time in the future, and this function operates on a time in the 
past.
