check out ftime(3) and the timeb struct. that's what is commonly used
for millisecond resolution. i am not quite sure whether what you want
is process timing, in which case gabe's answer will do you better, or
utc/localtime, in which case ftime is your choice.

don't know what GetTickCount() does, i did manage to forget that
entire windows api, didn't i... in only a year... pffff.
