This problem is caused because APRs UNIX implementation isnt able to read
the nanosecond part of the times returned by fstat(). In contrast, APRs
Windows implementation can, so my Windows-native binaries are producing
entries files with nanosecond resolution, correctly.

(cygwin's UNIX environment reads the times fine: just try coreutils'
'stat' command to see the result; the relevant parts have not been
changed by the cygwin packager, they're generic).

I think the right fix would be to extend APR's UNIX implementation to
read the nanosecond fields from stat(), if available. Take a look at
file_io/unix/filestat.c:fill_out_finfo() for starters, and compare to
coreutils' lib/stat-time.h.
