Thanks.  Hmm, I wonder if pkgsrc supports per-platform patch...

NetBSD uses machdep.est.*, but we usually have things like this
under hw.  Not sure if we have an explicit policy about sysctl names
though.

http://www.opengroup.org/onlinepubs/009695399/basedefs/sys/types.h.html:
  The type useconds_t shall be an unsigned integer type capable of storing
  values at least in the range [0, 1000000].

On platforms that doesn't define useconds_t, it's usually an unsigned int.
