time'pos gets me around the integer divide problem. Thanks.

This gets me past the "0 ns" problem where the resolution passed
is lower than the base resolution value. It makes an ifthenelse
tree, but it works.

Wow, this SIG really works.

By putting these two suggestions together, I was able to get something
that works. Thanks guys. I should have a new version up soon.

BTW, the VHPI suggestions don't compile. I'll talk more about that
when I do the release.
