Oops, I forgot to mention that I did check the ChaneLogs and the only
thing that appeared relevent was from 2005-10-23:
* include/config.h: POSIX provides gettimeofday()
* cdl/snmplib.cdl: We require gettimeofday from POSIX
Requring Posix/pthreads/timeslicing/etc. seems a bit drastic just to
call gettimeofday() on a platform that doesn't even know the time of
day to start with. ;)
