It's not a that good practice, to use the OS instead of a specific HAVE_, if there is no good reason.
So, what is the warning here, you like to fix?
(Just, if you prefer, split the _CRT_RAND_S stuff in a second PR, that may be faster to merge.)

Thank you for your feedback on this, @boaks. I will shortly move the _CRT_RAND_S change to a separate PR.
Regarding the localtime change: IIRC, the warning it addresses is the following: C4996 'localtime': This function or variable may be unsafe. Consider using localtime_s instead
Do you have a suggestion how this could be solved in a better way?

The _CRT_RAND_S change is now included separately in #178.

This PR is a small follow-up to #126, addressing two warnings raised by Visual Studio when compiling for Windows.
In order to address the warnings, this PR introduces a platform-specific
print_timestampfunction, usinglocaltime_sinstead oflocaltime(which led to the emission of warnings for being insecure). Furthermore, the definition of_CRT_RAND_Sis moved totinydtls.has it initializes the global state of therand_sfunction and defining it indtls_prng_win.cwas apparently too late in the compilation process.
