Problem with boost::timer on BCB

Hi All,

Just an FYI for those interested.

When compiling an application in RELEASE mode in BCB 5 the function
std::clock() does not always return what you expect it to. In those cases,
either an overflow or an invalid operation exception occurs. Using a "long
double" for the return type prevents the exceptions, but the values are
still incorrect (and way off!).

If you don't need a resolution greater than one second, consider using the
time(NULL) function instead. This one does work.
