Beware!  In at least some old versions of Tk, the Windows version used a
function TkpGetMS to find the timestamp for an event, and TkpGetMS calls
GetTickCount(), which as far as I can tell from the documentation is the
wall time now, not when the event was generated.

In fact, this code still seems to be in the HEAD revision of tkWinX.c.
Well, it's my own fault for only fixing the bug locally, not filing any
kind of bug report with the tcl/tk people.
