You would wish it could ;-)
But seriously, I've already changed it to do so. It's just not that 
clean, as Be went with a very strange mechanism for this - they shift a 
time_t value 16 bits to the left, and than or a random 16 bit value in, 
to make duplicate values less probable. So we have only 16 bits 
resolution for the nanoseconds - I cut that down even more to 12 in 
order to avoid the duplicates.

In any case, I'll finish that up tomorrow. Comments welcome.

Bye,
   Axel.
