I would like to see a good implementation of futimens(2) and
utimensat(2) in 10.0. From what I remember, pluknet@'s patch was closer
to that than delphij@'s patch. (For example, a timespec array with both
values UTIME_NOW should require the same permissions as a NULL timespec
array.)

I wrote a man page:

http://www.stack.nl/~jilles/unix/utimensat.2

I think it is best to have a separate man page and not stuff the new
calls into the utimes/lutimes/futimes/futimesat man page, which would
end up rather confusing.
