I've now implemented futimens. The tests pass on at least modern Linux,
pre-utimensat Linux, cygwin 1.5, cygwin 1.7, Solaris 10, darwin, FreeBSD,
OpenBSD; and cleanly compiles and skips on mingw. In the process, I found
a bug in cygwin 1.7 (utimensat improperly truncates) which now has a
pending patch, and in Linux (futimens(AT_FDCWD,NULL) attempts to change
the times of "." instead of failing).
I'm happy enough with the series that I will commit it tomorrow morning.
For now, here's where it can be reviewed, with differences from round 1:
git pull git://repo.or.cz/gnulib/ericb.git master
Eric Blake (8):
[1/8] doc: mention timestamp portability issues
More docs since my first email.
[2/8] utimens: add test
Test is more robust in the face of various timestamp issues.
[3/8] utimens: validate futimens usage
Now compiles on mingw.
[4/8] utimens: add lutimens interface
Don't make testsuite depend on nanosleep
[5/8] utimecmp: support symlink timestamps
Use pathconf(_PC_TIMESTAMP_RESOLUTION), if available.
[6/8] utimens: add UTIME_NOW and UTIME_OMIT support
Work around older Linux bug with UTIME_NOW and non-zero tv_sec.
[7/8] utimens: introduce fdutimens
Not much difference.
[8/8] futimens: new module
New. Write futimens for systems that lack it, and wrap it for systems
where it is broken. So far, only patched cygwin 1.7 passes using native
futimens.

Don't work too hard, make some time for fun as well!
