I've made a couple of minor corrections for BCC and VC9 (#34449): the
(current) Configure test programs show that the ranges are slightly
different for LOCALTIME compared to GMTIME for those compilers.

I've also found that the programs break using VC8/VC9 (where time_t has
size 8) if I include <windows.h> because that defines MINLONG and
MAXLONG (as -2147483648 and 2147483647 respectively): I end up with
results like

sGMTIME_min 2147483648 [sic]
sGMTIME_max 2147483647

instead of

sGMTIME_min 0
sGMTIME_max 32535244799

(I see there are discussions on-going about changing these programs
anyway, so this may not be relevant in due course.)
