River stage five • 950 direct dependents • 10638 total dependents

Changes for version 1.29_01

  • getitimer(ITIMER_VIRTUAL) cygwin and win32
  • remove CVS revision log from HiRes.xs
  • #undef ITIMER_VIRTUAL in Cygwin and Win32 since the functionality isn't there: when the functionality gets there we can start playing with release levels (need to patch this also in Perl 5.[89])
