Similar things should be done for systems that have no gettimeofday()
but do have an 'ftime' function and 'struct timeb' declared in
<sys/timeb.h>. (Old SysVR2 or SysVR3 systems. Microsoft did not invent this
interface; they only prepended the underscore.)

What's the point of checking the signature? The only signatures of
gettimeofday() I've seen are:
int gettimeofday (struct timeval * tp, ...);
int gettimeofday (struct timeval * tp, struct timezone *tzp);
int gettimeofday (struct timeval * tp, void *tzp);
and they are all OK with the usual way to call it.

Please put only one header here. If we provide a gettimeofday.h file, it
should be self-contained. In other words, I would #include <sys/time.h>
inside gettimeofday.h.
