Good luck!  I tried, as have others, but he seems to have some sort of
un-natural aversion to it.....  I'll back you up again, and I can
probably even get one of my clients to donate some of my time to helping
with the actual coding effort too.

Maybe if we all gang up on him with a working version under autoconf....

Weird.  utime(2) appeared in V7 UNIX, although it is in the 3V section
in the SunOS-4 manuals.  From the 4.4BSD utime(3) manual:

	HISTORY
	     A utime() function appeared in Version 7 AT&T UNIX.

[s/function/system/g]

As for utimes(2), according to the 4.4BSD manual:

	HISTORY
	     The utimes() function call appeared in 4.2BSD. The futimes() function
	     call appeared in NetBSD 1.2.

[s/function/system/g]

In 4.4BSD utime(3) is implemented using utimes(2).  I'm sure you could
steal that one.  It is the "standard" interface:

	STANDARDS
	     The utime() function conforms to IEEE Std1003.1-1988 (``POSIX'').
