Thanks, the patch looks great!

I have a couple of minor quibbles
	- I don't think that the CLOCK_* definitions are guaranteed to
	be #defines, so we should have configure.in checks for them
	- we can't use CLOCK_PROCESS_CPUTIME_ID on a multiprocessor
	machine

I'll check in a slightly modified version of your patch in a hour or
so ...
