Summary:                    [patch] New application to sleep until a given UNIX
epoch
Description: 
This minor application is called with a single value, such as $[${EPOCH} +
n] for whatever value of 'n' you want.

It will then sleep until exactly that time.  This is preferable to doing
Wait(n) if you (a) need to do some work in the time between calculating
${EPOCH} and your future wakeup, or (b) you need to wake up at the exact
second-tick, i.e. for a sychronized purpose (like announcing the time).

The syntax is:  WaitUntil(i)
