Sleep
The Sleep function suspends the execution of the current thread for the
specified interval.
To enter an alertable wait state, use the SleepEx function.
VOID Sleep(
DWORD dwMilliseconds // sleep time
);
Parameters
dwMilliseconds
[in] Specifies the time, in milliseconds, for which to suspend
execution.

Header: Declared in Winbase.h; include Windows.h.
Library: Use Kernel32.lib.
Unfortunately, I can't figure out how to utilize it. Including
windows.h causes a conflict with Parrot's definition of BOOL, including
winbase.h gives me a ton of syntax errors, and putting the declaration
inline just leaves me with 'unresolved symbol _Sleep'. Ugh.
In my local copy, I've set up sleep to just have:
fprintf(stderr, "Sleep currently unimplemented for this platform");
HALT;
for Win32. This seems to work okay--all tests pass, oddly enough,
although I won't be able to play Life.
