Comment (by nickm):

 I've started doing this port in a branch called `bug3199_redux` in my
 public repository, based on current master and Ryman's code.  Nothing in
 it has been refactored yet, but I believe I've taken care of all the notes
 above.

 For what it's worth: we should also refactor this to use monotonic time,
 not time(NULL).
