 * @class GTime
 *
 * @brief Handles times in a system independent way
 *
 * The GTime class stores a time value in seconds in a GammaLib native time
 * reference system. The GammaLib native time reference (i.e. time=0) is
 * defined as 
 *
 *                     January 1, 2010, 00:00:00 (TT)
 *
 * The time system is Terrestrial Time (TT). With respect to Coordinated
 * Universal Time (UTC), TT time is greater than UTC time by 66.184 sec at
 * January 1, 2010, 00:00:00. The difference is due to the introduction of
 * leap seconds that synchronize TT with the Earth rotation (UTC).
