[local-time-devel] Issue with local-time::%get-current-time as called by local-time:now

[Phil Hargett]

Actually, this patch seems to work on both CCL & LispWorks.

CCL already seems to make use of gettimeofday internally, so this patch just piggybacks on that to avoid the need for LOCAL-TIME to make it's own FFI-based call to gettimeofday.  Hope this helps!

So the attempt to leverage CCL's FFI in LOCAL-TIME is preventing my package's code from working consistently.
