Date:   Sat Apr 23 19:08:19 2016 +0200

Bring more dist in line with dist-git

All of these still have been overruled units, so it'll change nothing
in functionality but should ease finding diffs that do matter

[PATCH] Time-Hires: Fix declaration-after-statement error with darwin 
threads

rt #113856: the flag -Werror=declaration-after-statement is seemingly
not working for clang (in OS X, not yet tested elsewhere), but working
as intended for gcc.  Since the system cc for OS X is clang (via Apple),
this failure to fail has been masked.

To restate: without this patch the Time-HiRes does not build in OS X
with gcc under usethreads.

Author: Aaron Crane
