Checking whether a saved metalink hash file is up to date, the comparison for mtimes doesn't
work sometimes. I encountered this case:

withlock ~/LOCK-ue-hasher metalink-hasher update -t /srv/metalink-

hashes/ue/srv/mirrors/ue /srv/mirrors/ue -v
looking at /srv/mirrors/ue
locked /srv/metalink-hashes/ue/srv/mirrors/ue/LOCK
Hashing '/srv/mirrors/ue/bar' ... <-----------
Up to date: '/srv/metalink-hashes/ue/srv/mirrors/ue/ultimate-edition-2.4-
x64.iso.size_2562793472'
Up to date: '/srv/metalink-hashes/ue/srv/mirrors/ue/ultimate-edition-2.4-
x86.iso.size_2534909952'
unlocking /srv/metalink-hashes/ue/srv/mirrors/ue/LOCK

The log shows how /srv/mirrors/ue/bar is re-hashed. However, the script always claims that.

Inserting a debug print shows that the mtime on the source and destination file are
slightly different (in subsecond range):

withlock ~/LOCK-ue-hasher metalink-hasher update -t /srv/metalink-

hashes/ue/srv/mirrors/ue /srv/mirrors/ue -v
looking at /srv/mirrors/ue
locked /srv/metalink-hashes/ue/srv/mirrors/ue/LOCK
src mtime 1259537492.4343064 <---------
dst mtime 1259537492.4343059 <---------
Hashing '/srv/mirrors/ue/bar' ...
src mtime 1257621747.0
dst mtime 1257621747.0
Up to date: '/srv/metalink-hashes/ue/srv/mirrors/ue/ultimate-edition-2.4-
x64.iso.size_2562793472'
src mtime 1257621923.0
dst mtime 1257621923.0
Up to date: '/srv/metalink-hashes/ue/srv/mirrors/ue/ultimate-edition-2.4-
x86.iso.size_2534909952'
unlocking /srv/metalink-hashes/ue/srv/mirrors/ue/LOCK

This means that os.utime() doesn't set the correct utime for some reason.

I'm fixing this in trunk by comparing int(mtime) to int(mtime) instead of a direct
comparison.
