Beman,

I've been hacking at your timer.cpp implementation slightly to add support
for high performance counters under Win32, this has two effects:  the timer
resolution is reduced to micro-second level, and the timer::max_elapsed()
increases to about 2000 years - which should just about suffice for most
people :-)

Anyway the modified timer.cpp is attached.

BTW I'm aware that I could equally have used rdtsc for an even higher
resolution, but that seemed like overkill for most uses.
