GNULib Module gettime Breaks CVS Build On Windows

[Conrad T. Pino]

Hi All,

Derek Price of the CVS Project http://www.cvshome.org/
recently pulled GNULib updates into CVS source tree and
our Windows build using Visual Studio C++ 6.0 tool set
broke.  This is what we know so far:

http://mail.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-cvs/2004-05/msg00132.html

We can provide an implementation but that's not the current
first choice.  I'm including my current idea for such in
implementation in case it's useful to you.  I believe the
design is correct but it's untested code so far.

Best regards,

Conrad Pino
