Comment:

 Replying to [ticket:992 MattE]:
 > Because strptime isn't available natively for windows one cannot set the
 creation time of a file in ffmpeg (see the HAVE_STRPTIME flag in
 libavformat\utils.c line 4091).
 >
 > I want to request that it be added for windows as well. There's a GPL
 implementation of strptime here http://plibc.sourceforge.net/doxygen
 /strptime_8c-source.html which adds Windows support for strptime. It'd be
 great if that could be added to ffmpeg.

 Should be fixed in:
 {{{
 commit 29e972f67c914d35417bc7368493d2617abdd26e
 Author: Stefano Sabatini <stefasab at gmail.com>

     lavu/parseutils: add av_small_strptime()

     Make internal small_strptime() function public, and use it in place of
     strptime().
     This allows to avoid a dependency on strptime() on systems which do
 not
     support it.

     In particular, fix trac ticket #992.
