I'm a little late on this ;-)

there's nothing special to do on Win32. the current Parrot_sleep
implementation on this platform is:

  Sleep(seconds * 1000);

so to get a millisecond sleep just remove the * 1000 part.
it works on any Windows from 95 up.

I don't have time now to patch Steve's patch, if nobody else
can do it, I'll do it next week.

cheers,
Aldo
