Source patches to support Interix quirks

Not sure if the tim/e patches are legitimate bugs or Interix quirks... the rest I'm pretty confident about.... could somebody on Interix-{5,3.5} test?

Interix 6 API changes, and of course applies the header patch

Greg, have you brought your patch to the attention of upstream?  It looks sane enough to be applied there.

No... the tim/e thing should definitely go upstream if it is a bug -- but I never convinced myself it wasn't an Interix quirk.

As for the Interix-specific stuff... no reason they shouldn't go upstream also, I agree.  I'll submit to the ml when I find some spare moments to figure out whether the tim/e thing is a bug or a quirk.

what's the status of these?  Got any feedback from the ML?  Pointers?

i re-created patches in the spirit of upstream, and submitted them - they should be pretty ok for all interix versions right now, so this is fixed for me.
