Subject: [PATCH] Make __getclktck return 100 for the Hurd
X-Mailer: git-send-email 1.7.2.5

While it's true that Mach time values are returned in microseconds, they
are correctly handled as such, and not as clock ticks, by applications.
On the other hand, tools such as top provide wrong results since values
in /proc are actually provided as true clock ticks.
