Thanks for the review.

Hmm, I don't see any constraint violation there.
Although that expression contains no variables and always returns the
same value, in the C standard a "constant expression" is
an expression that's *required* to be a constant, which is
something slightly different.  As the standard doesn't
require this expression to be a constant, no constraint
is being violated here, and a C implementation is required
to compile and run the program.

Likewise for the other use of SECSPER400YEARS.

We may run into compilers that complain anyway, but I'd
rather wait until that happens before worrying about it.
