   On Windows time_t belongs to implementation of C language   
   rather than to OS API/ABI. So, Windows OS can't have any   
   requirements for time_t beyond requirement of C Standard.   
      
   If we are talking specifically about Microsoft's implementation then   
   it is easy to observe that time_t is 64-bit integer by default and   
   32-bit integer when user defines macro _USE_32BIT_TIME_T
