[Vm-dev] [OpenSmalltalk/opensmalltalk-vm] Fix timestamps for DragDrop events on Windows (#518)

[David T Lewis]

The image simply expects an integer timeStamp relative to some (any) consistent start point. I expect no issues on the image side as long as events are milliseconds relative to the same basis. I am not a Windows expert, but the the Windows VM uses event timestamps from Windows events, and if those values are relative to system start time, then that is the way it should. Proposed patch as described above seems reasonable and good. As an aside, it might also be worth taking a look at ioMsecs() in the Windows VM to see if it could be changed to use the same time basis as Windows events (system startup time rather than VM startup time). If that could be done, then fixes like this would probably not be necessary. But don't let that suggestion stand in the way of integrating a good patch.
