/usr/bin/stat appears to print microsecond timestamps. I don't know
about tar. The stat(2) man page doesn't mention it, but
the stat family syscalls return timestamps as struct timespec, which
has NANOSECOND resolution! W00t.
I didn't know that until just now. I had to read /usr/include/bits/stat.h.
