Malte proposed this patch for inclusion into Python 2.5. In its current
form, I'm skeptical about doing so, as it has the potential for breakage.

IIUC, the patch requires that HZ is defined if HAVE_TIMES is defined and
HAVE_SYSCONF is not; plus it requires _SC_CLK_TCK to be defined if
HAVE_SYSCONF is defined. For 2.5, such additional constraints are not
acceptable. Instead, the patch should guarantee compilation of
posixmodule if 2.5.2 allowed compilation, no matter how confused the
system is. If some of the prerequisites are not met, it is OK if either
os.times is absent, or produces bogus results.
