That shouldn't be hard -- time jumping forward isn't a problem (it can
just trigger some events quicker, which although not completely harmless,
it easily recoverable. And BIRD could detect jumps back and if it's
more than let's say 30 seconds, trigger all timers immediately.

However, time jumps should not occur on a properly configured system --
as Feela said, you should use a NTP daemon to synchronize your time
without jumping.
