Initially from Karls question here:
http://developer.mbed.org/questions/6337/setTime-and-time-exported-with-__weak-fo/#answer6545?compage=1#c15936.
Currently the C time functions only work with internal RTC. Sometimes
you either want to use an external one, or your target does not even
have an internal RTC. I added function attach_rtc(...) where the default
functions can be overridden at runtime.
Verified it to work properly with LPC1768/LPC11u24, both with and without DS1307 RTC connected and used as source for time. I don't think the init and isenabled functions are really important to have, but you can just set them as NULL (did so myself when testing).
