2004:

APPLICATION USAGE

"For applications portability, the utime() function should be used to set
file access and modification times instead of utimes()."

FUTURE DIRECTIONS

    This function may be withdrawn in a future version.

2008:

"The utimes() function shall be equivalent to the utimensat() function with
 the special value AT_FDCWD as the fd argument and the flag argument set to
 zero, except that the times argument is a timeval structure rather than a
 timespec structure, and accuracy is only to the microsecond, not nanosecond,
 and rounding towards the nearest second may occur."

So I guess the *at() thing strikes again.
