Shameless promotion: after you migrate away from Caml Light to OCaml 
3.08.1, you may want to have a look at the Cf library in OCaml NAE 
project on SF.Net <URL:http://www.sf.net/projects/ocnae/>, where you 
will find an implementation of Daniel Bernstein's TAI64 time 
representation.

If you are serious about working with values of standard time, then the 
Unix time functions are not your friends.  They have lots of twisty 
little constraints on the utility of the values they give and take that 
are not at all intuitive.
