Strange definition of "future" — at Initial Version

Description

Future: "You keep using that word. I do not think it means what you think it means."

From http://svn.macports.org/repository/macports/trunk/base/src/port1.0/portutil.tcl :

if {[file mtime ${portpath}/Portfile] >= [clock seconds]} {

return -code error "Portfile is from the future - check date and time of your system"

}

I'm pretty sure "future" means mtime > now, not >=. I'm syncing a Portfile from an RCS and building it in a script, and apparently my computer is too fast, cause it's getting this error about the future.

Yes, a sleep 1 works, but c'mon! :-)
