Description:

Suppose we have a system where time goes backwards or really far
forwards.  When we go to do the commit, we could have a time
sanity trigger which flags this as a possible error and asks them
to go fix their clocks before doing the checkin.


Suggestion:
	This really wants to be a pre-delta trigger and it needs to work from
citool as well as the command line.  So we have to pass state to it
to tell it that it is a GUI app and we need a way to get a yes/no
from the pop up.
As for the time itself, if the time goes backwards more than a day,
flag that, and if it goes forward for more than a month, flag that.
