Would it help if we added a command line option to autom4te that made it report
whether it thought it could use high resolution timestamps? Versions of
autom4te that didn't recognize this option should be conservatively assumed not
to support them.
(Of course there's the additional wrinkle that whether high resolution
timestamps *work* depends on what filesystem autom4te.cache is stored in, but
that's even harder to probe... one problem at a time?)
