 * New option --no-unquote disables unquoting input file names. This
 is useful e.g. for processing output from `find dir -print0'.
 An orthogonal option --unquote is provided as well.

+stamps to nanosecond resolution.

+* The -v option now prints time stamps only to 1-minute resolution,
+not full resolution, to avoid using up too many output columns.
+Nanosecond resolution is now supported, but that would be too much.
