Time.h conflicts with time.h on case sensitive filesystems

[sandeepmistry]

Hi @PaulStoffregen,

Some Arduino users are trying to use this library with libraries like RTCZero that #include <time.h> on case sensitive filesystems like macOS and older Windows. Here's a related issue: arduino-libraries/RTCZero#28

The compiler ends up including Time.h instead of the POSIX <time.h> inside the RTCZero library which causes compile errors. Would you be open to renaming Time.h in the library to avoid conflicts?

#39

TL;DR = already fixed. Include TimeLib.h, and don't use very old copies of this lib. Simple.

[PaulStoffregen]

Ideally, find whatever old wiki or other web pages these users are seeing and update them!

[sandeepmistry]

Well, maybe I should propose removing "Time.h" from this repo instead.

As soon as a sketch include "TimeLib.h", the "Time.h" file in this repo will in the header search path and conflict with the POSIX "time.h" includes.

This library aims to preserve compatibility with older versions of Arduino.

I agree with @sandeepmistry - removing the Time.h file (in at least the git version) would be the best.
