Thus the confusion.  Prolly best to discuss ntpd stuff on address@hidden

I can't speak for Eric, but do what you gotta do on ntpd.  Sooner or
later gonna be a front to back cleanup, but not today.

Cutting all the various time types down really helped gpsd.  The rats
nests of #include's made the code fragile and hard to read.  In some
places time was in three parallel but different precisions leading to
all sorts of loss of precision issues.

I spot some doubles still on my hit list, so more clutter yet to go.
