    For whatever reason (compiler or header bugs), at least one commonly-used · 0991f070

    linux system (namely mine) chokes on our definitions and uses of the "HZ"
    symbol in crypto/tmdiff.[ch] and apps/speed.c as a "bad function cast"
    (when in fact there is no function casting involved at all). In both cases,
    it is easily worked around by not defining a cast into the macro and
    jiggling the expressions slightly.
    
    In addition - this highlights some cruft in openssl that needs sorting out.
    The tmdiff.h header is exported as part of the openssl API despite the fact
    that it is ugly as the driven sludge and not used anywhere in the library,
    applications, or utilities. More weird still, almost identical code exists
    in apps/speed.c though it looks to be slightly tweaked - so either tmdiff
    should be updated and used by speed.c, or it should be dumped because it's
    obviously not useful enough.
    
    Rather than removing it for now, I've changed the API for tmdiff to at
    least make sense. This involves taking the object type (MS_TM) from the
    implementation and using it in the header rather than using "char *" in the
    API and casting mercilessly in the code (ugh). If someone doesn't like
    "MS_TM" and the "ms_time_***" naming, by all means change it. This should
    be a harmless improvement, because the existing API is clearly not very
    useful (eg. we reimplement it rather than using it in our own utils).
    
    However, someone still needs to take a hack at consolidating speed.c and
    tmdiff.[ch] somehow.
