The CVS versioon already contains a higher resolution clock, and it
doesn't suffer from the problems you mention - it could use some testing
before release, however.

All non-monotonic clocks can move backwards - is this backwards movement
jitter or just "the clock could change"? libev will automatically ajust if
that happens.
(there might be a mononotnic clock source available on windows, too, but I
lakc the tuits at the moment to look for one)
