That would provide a high-resolution timer, but not an interrupt per se,
or would it?

I can get PCTIME running at the right speed by removing this line from
pm_new8h():
  ++ticks_8h;

So it would seem that under Windows, both the protected mode and real
mode handlers get called with every timer tick, and under DOS only the
real mode handler gets called.  I don't understand this, and would
rather not blindly hack at the code without knowing why a modification
seems to work...
