Changes (by simonmar):

 * cc: tibbe, bos (added)


Comment:

 For the nonthreaded patch: couldn't we just modify the definition of
 `getProcessElapsedTime` instead of adding a new function `getTime`?  That
 would seem to require fewer changes, and it looks strange for `getTime` to
 call `stat_getElapsedTime` which calls back to `getProcessElapsedTime`.

 For the threaded patch: are we getting `HAVE_CLOCK_GETTIME` from
 `ghcautoconf.h`?  Perhaps it ought to come from the base package's
 `HsBaseConfig.h`?  Otherwise it looks fine, but we should run it past the
 IO manager people (tibbe & bos, CC'd).
