Subject:	Re: clock() problems

The reason why we can use clock() at up to 1.19 MHz is because the
hardware keeps track of it for us.  All we have to do is *calculate*
the return value of clock() when it's called.  We don't actually have
to get interrupted on each tic.

Compatibility isn't an issue; apps will always link with the library
that goes with the header they included (we hope).  This is a good
change to think about for V2.0.
