 POSIX optionally offers support for a (potentially) high-resolution
 realtime clock interface. In a good implementation, using it is faster
 than the normal method of using gettimeofday. Unfortunately, this option
-is also bound to be broken on some systems, so you can disable use and
-probing of this feature altogether here. Otherwise support for this clock
-type will be autodetected at compiletime.
