Oh, good, totally non-portable.

I don't even know if stat(1)'s defined by POSIX or SuS. It may well
not be. But it strikes me that since people are used to ctime,
mtime, and atime, it might have been reasonable to have used %c, %m,
and %a, like NetBSD did (and I think we got it from FreeBSD).

Oh well, it's totally non-portable anyway, since plenty of OSes lack
it (Solaris, for instance).
