Subject: 64bit timestamp library

I'm looking for a 64bit timestamp definition/standard with suitable 
range (at least from year 1900 to 2100) and precision (at least 
milliseconds). So far .NET's System.DateTime is the best candidate 
(range is year 1 AD to 9999 AD, precision is 0.1 microsecond). However, 
conversion to/from UNIX timestamp looks to be non-straightforward. Is 
there a Ruby library to do this (or to/from other suitable timestamp)?

I could always invent my own timestamp, but...
