[MiNT] DATE/TIME cookies



Hi Petr!

PS>I have just added the creating of "DATE" and "TIME" cookies into MiNT.
Do you really think we should support this cookies?
IMO they are a hack to deal with the lacking possibility to call Tgettime()
and Tgetdate() from interrupts (is this really not possible under MiNT?).
They encourage programers to access memory owned by the kernel of which I
think it should be forbidden.
I would prefer to make this GEMDOS functions really reentrant so that they
can be called from interrupts
