[boost] xtime and posix date_time

A couple of questions about xtime:

1. Are there any plans to replace xtime with the posix time system from the 
date_time library? The documentation of the posix time system says that it 
has  nano-second resolution and it also provides conversions to things like 
UTC (needed for POSIX sleep).

2. Since an xtime helper function (xtime_cmp, which is undocumented) has 
appeared in xtime.hpp, are there any plans to make other public xtime 
operations (such as simple arithmetic) or conversions (e.g., to_time) 
available? I know these are rather simple, but in my applications I've had 
to reimplement the same basic funcionality several times and it gets to be 
rather inconvenient.

Cheers,

Simon
