[issue13420] newer() function in dep_util.py discard changes in the same second

It’s a bit hard for me to isolate the distutils problem from the CDBS-specific parts (maybe because I’m tired :).  For years, sub-second resolution was not supported by distutils, and things were okay as long as the build* commands did the file creation and install* were only concerned with copying files.  Given the feature freeze, I’m very reluctant to add sub-second resolution.
