  // We need to return the number of milliseconds that have elapsed in some
  // reasonably portable way.  The underlying function that we will use returns
  // a number of elapsed ticks.  We can look up the number of ticks per second
  // from the system configuration.
  //
  // Conceptually, we need to find the number of elapsed clock ticks and then
  // multiply the result by the milliseconds per clock tick (or just as easily
  // divide by clock ticks per millisecond).  Integer dividing by clock ticks
  // per millisecond is bad since this number is fractional on most machines
  // and would result in divide by zero errors due to integer rounding.
  //
  // Multiplying by milliseconds per clock tick works up to a clock resolution 
  // of 1000 ticks per second.  If we go  past this point, we begin to get zero
  // elapsed times when millisecondsPerTick becomes fractional and another 
  // rounding error appears.
  //
  // So rounding errors using integers can bite you from two direction.  Since 
  // all of our targets have math coprocessors, why not just use doubles 
  // internally?  Works fine, lasts a long time.
  //
  // If millisecondsPerTick becomes fractional, and an elapsed time greater than 
  // a milliscond is measured, the function will work as expected.  If an elapsed 
  // time is measured that turns out to be less than a millisecond, we'll just 
  // return zero which would, I think, also will be expected.
