It would make using it cross-platform easier, but you aren't actually 
getting microsecond information under windows, so if your program relies 
on that detail, it won't work correctly under windows anyway, so you 
must make your program work with millisecond times and you could then 
just use your millisec_clock on both platforms.

Basically, I both agree and disagree.  I agree from the point of view of 
using the library cross-platform, but disagree on the principle that 
your using something that promises microsecond detail, but in fact is 
only returning millisecond.  (in my example anyway, if you could make 
the microsecond stuff work from QPC then that would be fine)
