Subject: mktime() like function to produce GMT?

I need a function to produce a Unix epoch time from a time tuple, a la
time.mktime(). Problem is, mktime() gives you the tuple in localtime, which
is dangerous if you're dealing with GMT times in the past (like in the
HTTP).

Is there a function that will make a GMT epoch time straight from a time
tuple?

Thanks,
