Improvements to 31c9a3 - CPAN code did depend on the previous behaviour of blessing filehandles into FileHandle

It turns out that it's not quite as simple as blessing into IO::File.
If you do (just) that, then it breaks any existing code that does
C<require IO::Handle;> to allow it to call methods on file handles,
because they're blessed into IO::File, which isn't loaded. (Note this code
doesn't assume that methods in IO::Seekable are there to be called)

So, it all should work if you also set @IO::File:::ISA correctly?
That way, code that assumes that methods from IO::Handle can be called will
work. However, gv.c now starts complaining (but not failing) if IO::Handle,
IO::Seekable and Exporter aren't present, because it goes looking for
methods in them.

So the solution seems to be to set @IO::File::ISA *and* create (empty)
stashes for the other 3 packages. Patch appended, but not applied.

Found the bug, patch attached.

v_tm_tday is an NV, so casting time to an integer will cause an overflow
2**31 days after 1970 or somewhere between 2**47 and 2**48.  Not sure why the
compiler didn't warn about that.

This makes it work until the year overflows.

As for putting in a warning, there's two options:
1) A few days before the 32 bit year overflows.
2) At some reasonable point before there's too much floating point inaccuracy.

The possibility of long doubles will make #2 difficult to nail down, but I'll
be happy with +/- 2**53.
