Long press detect circuit using mechanical switch

Is there some simple method to build a long press detect circuit using a mechanical switch? using capacitors may be?

100 k resistor in series with 100uF capacitor and voltage comparator.

Why bother with r/c networks and voltage comparitors when it can been done in software? Every Arduino supports the millis() function call which is all you need to determine how long a switch is activated. Best of all, the software has already been written for you.
