SFTP support for subsecond times

[Ben Lindstrom]

Historically the view has been if you want NFS-like filesystem over SSH 
write a dedicated subsystem.  The OpenSSH project stopped following the 
sftp spec when it tried to "be-everyting-to-everyone" protocol instead 
of a clean and simple ftp/scp replacement.  As filesystem sharing 
protocols have oddies between platforms that add a lot of complexity and 
are unsuited for the original sftp purpose.

I suspect this view point still hasn't changed since I officially left 
the project.
