CLOCKS_PER_SEC determines how the result of the clock() function is 
interpreted.

But it seems to be defined as macro in time.h.

Any ideas on how to determine that value when calling clock() as foreign 
function from another language? I want to avoid OS-specific functions 
unless they are available on both Windows and Linux.

(At the moment, CLOCKS_PER_SEC seems to be usually 1000 on Windows and 
1000000 on Linux. I suppose I could detect abnormally large values of 
clock() and infer it that way, but I think there will be some overlap in 
the set of valid results.)
