Oh, that intended meaning wasn't clear to me. How about if we change=20
that sentence to the following, which I hope makes things clearer.

* Add support for 64-bit time_t on configurations like x86 where time_t
   is traditionally 32-bit.  Although time_t still defaults to 32-bit on
   these configurations, this default may change in future versions.
