BTW, I had a look at uptimed before, and the main problem I faced
(IIRC), was making it crash safe.  uptimed is writing the current uptime
into a file, and even on GNU/Linux with ext3 or so I had some issuse
with corrupted uptime files after reboot.

Parsing those files is the main point, so writing them safely is
important.  I don't remember whether the code for that is
platform-dependent though.
