Actually, I'm familiar with difftime.  Although, I would not have
looked at the manpage, but just at the GNU C Library Reference.  I
just don't feel like mucking around in gnuchess code.  I've spent too
many hours on too many unsuccessful searches for "simple" little
things like that.  I got burnt out on it.

I'm more puzzled why it would be released if it's not even compilable.
After all, it's been several years since the last release -- it's not
like they were on a deadline!
