Well, POSIX has in the past done minor adjustments for sanity's sake,
and this should count as a minor adjustment.
If the Solaris futimesat() interface is carved in stone, then we could
call the variant with struct timespec 'utimesat', as H. Peter Anvin
suggested (as the leading 'f' is somewhat weird anyway). The basic
idea is not a POSIX invention, so the "posix_" prefix seems overkill
here.
It's no big deal of course -- I'd like to have this function, with
working nanoseconds, under any name.
