I hope you saw that BTime and BDate cannot by themselves represent a
time_t. That's what BDateTime is for. And that one already has the
conversion methods for time_t support, as Christophe pointed out. So
BContry::FormatTime() should either take BDateTime, or there should be
three overloaded versions for BTime, BDate and BDateTime each.
