Actually, while thinking about it, I believe it might be both more
efficient and more flexible to pass to strfxtime the original xtime_t
value plus the timezone descriptor, and not the broken-down struct xtm:

size_t strfxtime(char * restrict s,
		 size_t maxsize,
		 const char * restrict format,
		 const struct xtime * restrict timeptr,
		 const timezone_t * restrict tzptr);
