   * A FILETIME struct holds 100-nanosecond units (0.0000001). When 
   * built with microsecond resolution the FILETIME's sub second value 
   * will be truncated. Nanosecond resolution has no truncation.

   * platforms.

   * \note The function is templated on the FILETIME type, so that
   *       it can be used with both native FILETIME and the ad-hoc
   *       boost::date_time::winapi::file_time type.
