I understand that and it sounds reasonable. The problem is that I have
no idea how to detect if _SC_CLK_TCK makes sense or not. Without a way
to detect this, epicsThreadSleepQuantum() will return a wrong value on
modern Linux machines. I can think of two options:

1. Consider the value unknown on _all_ Linux machines. Modify
epicsThreadSleepQuantum() such that it _always_ returns 0 on Linux.
2. Leave epicsThreadSleepQuantum() as is and mark it deprecated to make
it obvious to developers that they are using something that might now
work as designed anymore.
