I overlooked that function, thanks.

In this case I'm not dealing with the current time. How would I
convert between an arbitrary system clock value stored in a
time_t/struct timeval/struct timespec, and a TAI[N] value stored in a
tai[n]_t?

Do you recommend calling tain_init() at program startup? If the
program does a significant amount of work before the first call to
tain_now(), will it matter whether the initialization happens before
or after that work?
