[Vm-dev] [OpenSmalltalk/opensmalltalk-vm] Win32 event generation mixes up timeGetTime() and GetMessageTime() (#509)

[Eliot Miranda]

Hi Christophe,
    clearly we want the most simple solution that is consistent across all platforms.  So yes, please feel free to harmonize the time stamps in a logical manner.

Since you're looking at time on Windows please also consider this, which is a proposal of mine for keeping the VM's microsecond clock in sync with wall time in an efficient manner while providing a monotonic microsecond clock.  I haven't had time to implement it and I could really do with a collaborator to help me.

And this link shows it's a pressing issue for Windows users:
