jhawk has pointed out to me that that message is rather cryptic without
resort to the patch. I've changed it in the cvs repository to read...

 Introduce a variable "cc" to hold the cpu counter delta, rather than
 overloading "usec". The counter isn't counting micro-seconds, and using
 the same variable to mean two different things is false economy: with
 this change, the compiled object is 72 bytes smaller on i386, and the
 code is easier to understand, to boot.
