	Shouldn't there be some indication in errno that no conversion
was found [ by settz -mod ]? Otherwise, how is one's code supposed to know
that the string passed to settz() was valid and settz() couldn't find a
conversion? Both return -1!

[ Maybe EINVAL?  -mod ]

I think that this should be 'ctime', as that is the functionality
desribed by the next two lines:

>by timer to local time in the form of a string.  It is equivalent to
>	asctime(localtime(timer))

Otherwise, the proposal looks good to me!
