time.h is an ANSI/ISO C header file, and as such it ought to be included
without the sys/ prefix.  It seems odd that this won't work in Darwin, but
it would have to be counted as a Darwin issue, not a bug.  sys/times.h is
a POSIX header, and is where it belongs.

Most of the #include <*.h> directives should eventually be changed to
#include <c*> instead.  I don't know if #include <ctime> would work in
Darwin, but if it does, it's a better fix than Darwin-specific macros.

Scott, could you give it a try?
