In Win32lib, you have the fetch_SYSTEMTIME() and struct_SYSTEMTIME() 
routines to set or get a SYSTEMTIME structure.
To set the system date/time, just wrap the SetSystemTime() API routine, and
 call it using a SYSTEMTIME structure address. Simple, eh?
The hitch, though, is that your process must have the right privileges to do 
this. Plesae refer to the SetSystemTime API docs for more info on that.
You'll have to tweak the privileges of your process' handle so as to enable 
the procedure to succeed. Can't test this right now.
