Summary: time.clock() docs wrong for Windows

Initial Comment:
Almost nothing about the time.clock() docs is correct 
on Windows.  Here's the Windows Truth:

On Windows, time.clock() uses the Win32 
QueryPerformanceCounter API.  The value returned is an 
approximation to wall-clock seconds elapsed since the 
first time time.clock() was called during a program 
run.  The resolution is typically better than a 
microsecond.
