Are there any systems in use today that don't support gettimeofday?
Wget tests for its availability because at the time I wrote that code
I've seen other programs perform the same test.  However, I don't
think I've ever seen a system that didn't support gettimeofday, with
the exception of Windows.  The oldest systems on which I had access in
mid-90s, such as Ultrix and SunOS 4, all supported it.

Does testing for gettimeofday make sense today?
