   21-Oct-11    MP      Fixed throttling in several ways:
                         - Sleep for the observed clock tick size while throttling
                         - Recompute the throttling wait once every 10 seconds
                           to account for varying instruction mixes during
                           different phases of a simulator execution or to 
                           accommodate the presence of other load on the host 
                           system.
                         - Each of the pre-existing throttling modes (Kcps, 
                           Mcps, and %) all compute the appropriate throttling 
                           interval dynamically.  These dynamic computations
                           assume that 100% of the host CPU is dedicated to 
                           the current simulator during this computation.
                           This assumption may not always be true and under 
                           certain conditions may never provide a way to 
                           correctly determine the appropriate throttling 
                           wait.  An additional throttling mode has been added
                           which allows the simulator operator to explicitly
                           state the desired throttling wait parameters.
                           These are specified by: 
                                  SET THROT insts/delay
                           where 'insts' is the number of instructions to 
                           execute before sleeping for 'delay' milliseconds.
   22-Apr-11    MP      Fixed Asynch I/O support to reasonably account cycles
                        when an idle wait is terminated by an external event
   05-Jan-11    MP      Added Asynch I/O support
   29-Dec-10    MP      Fixed clock resolution determination for Unix platforms
   22-Sep-08    RMS     Added "stability threshold" for idle routine
   27-May-08    RMS     Fixed bug in Linux idle routines (from Walter Mueller)
   18-Jun-07    RMS     Modified idle to exclude counted delays
   22-Mar-07    RMS     Added sim_rtcn_init_all
   17-Oct-06    RMS     Added idle support (based on work by Mark Pizzolato)
                        Added throttle support
   16-Aug-05    RMS     Fixed C++ declaration and cast problems
   02-Jan-04    RMS     Split out from SCP

   This library includes the following routines:

   sim_timer_init -     initialize timing system
   sim_rtc_init -       initialize calibration
   sim_rtc_calb -       calibrate clock
   sim_timer_init -     initialize timing system
   sim_idle -           virtual machine idle
   sim_os_msec  -       return elapsed time in msec
   sim_os_sleep -       sleep specified number of seconds
   sim_os_ms_sleep -    sleep specified number of milliseconds
   sim_idle_ms_sleep -  sleep specified number of milliseconds
                        or until awakened by an asynchronous
                        event

   The calibration, idle, and throttle routines are OS-independent; the _os_
   routines are not.
