struct timeval is currently defined in winsock[2].h. 

It (and struct timezone) could also/instead be defined in sys/time.h as in
POSIX implementations.  Redefinition guards would be needed of course.  This
would also ease addition of gettimeofday to sys/time.h and libmingwex.a.

What do others think of this addition of non-ANSI, non-MSVCRT functionality?
