That's great. Now that I've demonstrated to our management that we can
get changes into the Wireshark code (so long as they're useful to
everybody), I'll be sitting down with the guys who use Wireshark a lot
here and looking at the Wireshark wishlist; hopefully I'll be given the
time to do more stuff!
Quite right about the GNU library - as I was developing on Win32 it
wasn't true even for me! If I read things correctly my assumption is
true for (at least) all POSIX compliant systems and for Win32. If there
is a platform out there that has a non-zero time_t value for epoch I
would be surprised.

Looks good! I have committed your changes as SVN revision 20040 and
added you to the authors list - thanks taking the time to implement this
:).
I made a few minor changes to formatting to line up tabs, spacing, etc.
I removed the comment about being linked against the GNU C library as
that's only the case on (Linux?) and not other systems we support, such
as the BSDs. Anyway, time_t is defined so that 0 = epoch (Jan 1 1970
00:00:00) on any standard system so it is ok in your code.
I added the new e option to -t to the wireshark.pod / tshark.pod (for
man pages and HTML help pages) and the User's Guide
(docbook/wsug_src/WSUG_chapter_customize.xml). Finally, I removed two
unused variables from col_set_epoch_time in column-utils.c to squelch
compiler warnings.
