New in 1.x:
timestamp granularity dynamically, greatly speeding up the sleep
done by AC_OUTPUT when generating config.status (all packages) and
Automake's make check.

However, this subsecond-mtime support requires an autom4te from
Autoconf 2.72 or later (or random test failures and other timing
problems may ensue), as well as a Perl, sleep program, make program,
fall back to a two-second granularity, not even testing the (common)
1s case since that would induce a 2s delay for all configure scripts
in all packages on all systems that don't support subsecond mtimes.

When everything is supported, a line "Features: subsecond-mtime" is
- now printed by automake --version and autom4te --version.

To override this check and delay, e.g. to use 1 second:
am_cv_filesystem_timestamp_resolution=1
export am_cv_filesystem_timestamp_resolution
