* win/tclWinTime.c: Added code to test and compensate for forward
leaps of the performance counter. See the MSDN Knowledge Base article Q274323 for the hardware problem that makes this necessary on certain machines. * tests/winTime.test: Revised winTime-2.1 - it had a tolerance of thousands of seconds, rather than milliseconds. (What's six orders of magnitude among friends? Both the above changes are triggered by a problem reported at http://aspn.activestate.com/ASPN/Mail/Message/ActiveTcl/1536811 although the developers find it difficult to believe that it accounts for the observed behavior and suspect a fault in the RTC chip.
