As implemented now, win32 gettimeofday does not give a consistent time because seconds and microseconds are collected with two different function calls.
A better solution, in my opinion, would be to use
win32 GetSystemTime function (together with mktime). This reduces accuracy to milliseconds, but time differences would be more reliable (no more extra 1 second errors in small times)

I have a solution for this now, also for microtime
and usleep. How can I get the code to appropriate
place ??

Thanks for you patch, it is now in the CVS. In future make sure you also include any patches in the bug report (even if its a note added at a later date)
