Why not use Windows time functions directly in ICMP? Reimplementing
gettimeofday on top of Windows time fuctions doesn't seem like an
ideal solution for ReactOS nor Wine.

In Reactos you'd already have unnecessary loss of precision but even
more so in Wine since we'd be doing:

 gettimeofday() -> GetSysTemTimeAsFileTime() -> gettimeofday().

Not to mention the maintenance burden of a Unix api in Reactos and Wine.
