Sorry, I missed the extra 'i' in there.  So is the requirement to get all three of those time domains supported?  Supporting all three looks to me like something one would need for building real time systems or a profiling tool?

According to the Ubuntu man pages, setitimer(2) operates on one of
three interval timers: ral, virtual and profile.  It could take quite
a bit of effort to port this to APE.  I see that NetBSD echoes the
Linux documentation.
