  /*! Function to create a time object from an initialized FILETIME struct.
   * 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.
   *
   * \note FILETIME is part of the Win32 API, so it is not portable to non-windows
   * 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::detail::winapi::FILETIME_ type.
