Thanks, Paul.

Conrad, I've just updated the version in CVS.  Does it do the trick
for you?

I've also added my_usleep & nanosleep functions to
windows-NT/woe32.c.  They are mostly duplicated code from nanosleep.c,
so I'm tempted to fork our nanosleep.c to include the #include
<winsock.h> instead and ease maintenence, but it's somewhat debatable
whether that is easier since it would complicate updates from GNULIB.

Anyhow, please let me know how it turns out.

Derek
