Hello matz - I do understand both sides of this - Window is "broken" in 
this respect and working around it is (pardon the pun) time consuming...

It would be helpful, at least, to have Syck fall back to using DateTime 
when Time.gm fails though... this is what the Rails core extensions in 
ActiveSupport do to work around the overflow...

Cheers,
Tim
