[fpc-pascal] timing again

[Paul Breneman]

> Thank you for this precision. Where does getTime actually get its time? And where do these numbers come from; I mean why chose this time unit instead of plain 1/10 or 1/100 or 1/1000s? (1193182 does not look familiar to my eyes ;-)
> Do you have an idea on how to get one of those time units (ms would be perfect, since more precision can be rounded, while the contrary is a hard task!)

The standard clock for the system timer runs at 1,193,182 Hz, derived 
for the original IBM PC as the 4.77 MHz processor clock divided by 4.
