Instead of having hard-coded values, we should maybe do something
more variable like:
if (year >= (20 + YEARS_SINCE_2000) && year < (48 + YEARS_SINCE_2000)
...

YEARS_SINCE_2000 could be define'd through (menu;x;...)config...

This applies to other platforms using different epoch vaules as
well, of course...
