This code is guarded by "#if defined (WANT_MAIN)" and does not compile.
It probably serves archaeological purpose so I left it unmodified.

For example function delConnection of connection.c:

       timeToString (now, dateString, sizeof(dateString)) ;
       notice ("ME finishing at %s\n", dateString) ;

d_printf previously processed the output of ctime. I don't know what
it's good for, but the same effect can be more easily had with strftime.
