Additionally most of the problematic time-related tests are
level 17 tests and should thus be skipped on native windows
builds due to:

# Level 17 needs = feature status FEATURE_PTHREAD Yes

Of course FEATURE_PTHREAD does not actually guarantee a 64
bit time_t, so maybe we should add a FEATURE_64_BIT_TIME_T
to make the test results easier to compare.
