FYI, in the interpreter VM a primitive is available for directly accessing
time since the unix epoch, and can be accessed as follows:

Time class>>primUtcWithOffset
	"Answer an array with UTC microseconds since the Posix epoch and
	the current seconds offset from GMT in the local time zone."

	"Time primUtcWithOffset"

	<primitive: 'primitiveUtcWithOffset'>
	^nil
