BTW, the error with the scewed NFS time is quite severe. If someone 
installs Log::Log4perl on  a NFS-based file system and the clocks are 
off by a few seconds, Log::Log4perl won't pass its test suite.

I think the problem is that we rely on the fact that the system time 
(obtained via time()) and the file system's -M date are in sync. 
Wouldn't it be safer to store the -M time of the config file as soon as 
it has been written instead of using time() for config_and_watch?
