Epoch definition not part of getconf, but should be

The current "epoch" definition (section 4.14) is
Midnight Jan 1 1970 UTC.  It was previously defined
as GMT.

Someday it might change again.  There needs to be a
way to get the epoch date and getconf is the obvious
way.  I would suggest EPOCH_START be defined in
confstr and thus getconf.

(To insure permanent compatibility you can use
RFC-2550 date format. :-)
