Greater resolution in test -nt / test -ot

[Petr Skočík <pskocik@xxxxxxxxx>]

Hi,

would you be willing to pull something like this?

diff --git a/src/bltin/test.c b/src/bltin/test.c

I could use greater resolution in `test -nt` / `test -ot`, and st_mtim
field is standardized under POSIX.1-2008 (or so stat(2) says).
