FRIGN 5edeec1b20 Use monotonic clock to prevent timing issues 
This patch replaces the gettimeofday()/timeval-system with
uses of clock_gettime() with a monolithic clock and timespec-structs.
gettimeofday() is not accurate and prone to jumps and POSIX.1-2008
marks it as obsolete. Read more here [0].

The patch should speak for itself and decreases the binary
size for me by almost 200K(!).

st - simple terminal
--------------------
st is a simple virtual terminal emulator for X which sucks less.


Requirements
------------
In order to build st you need the Xlib header files.


Installation
------------
Edit config.mk to match your local setup (st is installed into
the /usr/local namespace by default).

Afterwards enter the following command to build and install st (if
necessary as root):

    make clean install


Running st
----------
If you did not install st with make clean install, you must compile
the st terminfo entry with the following command:

    tic -s st.info

See the man page for additional details.
