2004:
APPLICATION USAGE
"For applications portability, the utime() function should be used to set
file access and modification times instead of utimes()."
FUTURE DIRECTIONS
This function may be withdrawn in a future version.
2008:
"The utimes() function shall be equivalent to the utimensat() function with
the special value AT_FDCWD as the fd argument and the flag argument set to
zero, except that the times argument is a timeval structure rather than a
timespec structure, and accuracy is only to the microsecond, not nanosecond,
and rounding towards the nearest second may occur."
So I guess the *at() thing strikes again.
