[patch] make profiling working again

[gerw]

Due to the network code, the profiling is broken.

Apart from clock_gettime() not being available on Windows, the manpage states that it will not work properly on Multicors. Thus I think the time(NULL) should be rather kept.

Moreover, I want to do profiling without fast forward (for instance on graphic updates). Thus I took out the mandantory fast forward for profiling. The second ifdef is also not needed, since you will use profiling usually with a loaded game. Anyway, looking for quit_month seems a wiser choice here.

And without sync_step() and without fast forward, no vehicle will move at all (since this is done in the sync steps.)

Thank you for your changes, will go into the trunk then.

Thank you for your comments.

The problem is, that time(NULL) returns seconds and not milliseconds. I searched the internet and there seems to be no posix way to get milliseconds...

Coupling the fast forward to the "until" is a good choice!

Isn't there gettimeofday() ?

It seems so. Would that work?

Actually, I found something for a program I'm writing.
Here's the page that describes it: http://www.firstobject.com/getmillicount-milliseconds-portable-c++.htm
It works for me under Debian.
