Hi there!

I think I may have a convincing use case for adding this feature. I work for
the Tor Project and we've recently been doing a lot of work on making our
builds deterministic[1][2]. Currently we're trying to use Wine for some Python
stuff but we can't get libfaketime to work with it, no matter what kinds of
wrappers we write or what kind of LD_PRELOAD magic we invoke. (If you want some
more background on this, there is a long comment here, just look for
libfaketime: https://trac.torproject.org/projects/tor/ticket/9444#comment:20)

Is there anything we can do to help make this happen?
