Log Message:
* win/tclWinTime.c: Added code to test and compensate for forward
leaps of the performance counter. See the MSDN Knowledge Base article
Q274323 for the hardware problem that makes this necessary on certain
machines.

* tests/winTime.test: Revised winTime-2.1 - it had a tolerance of
thousands of seconds, rather than milliseconds. (What's six orders of
magnitude among friends?

Both the above changes are triggered by a problem reported at

although the developers find it difficult to believe that it accounts
for the observed behavior and suspect a fault in the RTC chip.
