    SYNOPSIS:
Does ACE support a timer mechanism that can signal a thread at a
specified GMT time?

    DESCRIPTION:
I have to do some periodic stats collection at exact 5 minute
intervals, based on the GMT time standard (i.e. 9:00:00, 9:05:00,
9:10:00, ... 9:55::00, 10:00:00, etc),   Does ACE have any kind of
timer mechanism to achieve this?  That is, pass in a future GMT
absolute time value and subsequently get signaled when the time
occurs.
