In the svn repository, yes.

Ta for the pointer. For now, the timer provided by the twisted event
loop on windows is quite good enough, and I get it for free with the
event loop, so I'll probably stick with that. I seem to recall that
there were only a limited number of these high-precision timers on
Windows - in addition, I need to have multiple timer event loops
running in a given process, so many/most pure timer operations aren't
at all suitable :-/
