---------------------------------------------------------+------------------
 On certain platforms, such as OS X (Darwin) util::high_resolution_timer
 ultimately defaults to using std::clock().  On this platform, and probably
 many others gettimeofday() is a reasonable, nominally microsecond
 precision, alternative.

 Attached is a version which will make use of gettimeofday() if there are
 no alternatives and the existence of gettimeofday() is guaranteed by the
 macro BOOST_HAS_GETTIMEOFDAY.
