Just checked in a sleep for fractional seconds -- please check it out!

As you noted later, this is correct.  The accuracy of gcl's time is
correctly limited to 0.01 seconds on my system at least -- this is the
granularity of the system clock.  I'll assume nothing needs to be done
here unless I hear otherwise.  Others had suggested previously that we
should add a gbc time to the output.  Spec says its up t us.

Take care,
