The C++ standard library comes with perfectly fine implementations of
these functions, so there's no point in reimplementing them just for the
hell of it.
As discussed in http://forum.openclonk.org/topic_show.pl?tid=2917, I
have merged all copyright notices into a single file and referenced that
merged file from each source file.
For the updated source files, the timeline has been split into three
parts:
1. Pre-RWD code (before 2001)
2. RWD code (2001 through 2009)
3. OpenClonk code (2009 and later)
All pre-RWD copyright notices have been left intact, as have RWD-era
copyright notices where the file did not have a RedWolf design copyright
notice but only individual author ones. All copyright notices of the
OpenClonk era have been replaced by a single notice ranging from the
first recorded year to the current year (2013). Mape code did not get a
OpenClonk Team copyright notice because it is somewhat separate from the
main OpenClonk codebase and has only been touched by Armin Burgmeier.
The new type C4TimeMilliseconds behaves for the most part like a uint32_t but is overflow-proof in comparisons.
In some places, a 0-value (or uint_max) of the variable storing the time had the special meaning "not set yet". This has been resolved by having it as a pointer to C4TimeMilliseconds with NULL meaning that it has not been set yet.
The network used to cast GetTime() to int, but GetTime() is an unsigned long. This might cause problems if GetTime() returns big integers (see #251). To solve this, the StdSchedulerProc interface had to be extended with another function in order to eliminate the magic return value -1 of GetNextTick for "no scheduled execution".
This is a whitespace-only patch. Hopefully, it'll only affect rarely-changed
parts of the engine, since all regularly maintained pieces should already
use tabs.
