[plt-dev] Serializable SRFI 19 dates and times

Does this include the changes that Sam posted on (I think) the developers
list on Feb 26? Unfortunately, there are several latent bugs in the
reference implementation of SRFI 19. Sam included a fix for the
date-nanoseconds being off by a factor of 100. It now passes the tests that
were added to catch that particular bug. Someone who knows what they're
doing - i.e., not me - should probably update the leap seconds table based
on the 2009 data. The latest update seems to have been in 2006. Instructions
are in the code.
