I added a few conversion methods like this to 'ruby-units' gem

class Time
 def to_datetime
    DateTime.civil(1970,1,1)+(self.to_f+self.gmt_offset)/86400
  end

  def to_date
    Date.civil(1970,1,1)+(self.to_f+self.gmt_offset)/86400
  end
end

This seems to work pretty well, although I haven't tested it on a wide
range of OSs.
