 Do this right away as we enter main(), so that the resulting
 timestamps are as closely as possible relative to when we start.

 It does occur to me, though... when we're using relative timestamps,
 should we be using the monotonic clock instead of the realtime clock? 
Right, yes, I was under the impression that we could risk mixing those
with packet capture timestamps (where we want the realtime clock), but
actually it's never the case. I'll post another patch for that.
