To quote the initial message:
If it were desired to determine which file was newer using sub-second
values, perhaps that would make a reasonable change in distutils2,
but files created with a few microseconds would have to be considered
equivalent due to the reduced precision available in python floats
(53 bits on my platform, if I understand correctly) as compared to
the 64 bit precision used by some operating systems and file systems.
