[17259]4010402: Look harder at -lm and -lelf - they are needed less and less...
5
[10831]6970711: Look Real Hard at changing the key stuff from u_long to u_int32.
7
8970711: Make sure it's safe to convert proto_config's 2nd argument from
9        u_long to u_int32.  Watch "set" in ntp_request.c:setclr_flags().
10
11970318: in hourly_stats(?), squawk if the magnitude of the drift is,
12        say, >400.
13
14970301: Implement the utmp/wtmp timestamping on time steps.
15
16970210: Find a way to dump the current configuration to either syslog or
17        a file.

19CPP macros we need to handle:
20
21 SUN_3_3_STINKS  (this will be easy to handle if anybody still needs it)
22
23Problems that need to be fixed:
24
25- Get rid of the old SYS_* macros:
26  (It's worth noting that any code that would have been "enabled" by any
27  of these macros has not been used since 5.83, and there have been very
28  few complaints...)

99- config.guess might need help to identify:

101  Fujitsu's UXP                         --enable-adjtime-is-accurate
102                                        --enable-step-slew
103
104  Unixware                              --enable-adjtime-is-accurate
105                                        --enable-tick=10000
106                                        --enable-tickadj=80
107                                        --enable-udp-wildcard
108                                        --disable-step-slew
109
110  DomainOS                              --enable-adjtime-is-accurate
111                                        --disable-kmem
112                                        --enable-tick=1000000
113
114  OpenVMS                               --enable-slew-always
115                                        --enable-hourly-todr-sync
116
117  Is adjtime accurate on ALL sysv4* machines?
118  Can we identify DomainOS with *-apollo-* ?
119  Do we catch all Unixware machines with *-univel-sysv* ?
120
121- How can we test if UDP_WILDCARD_DELIVERY should be used?
122
123- Combine enable-step-slew and enable-ntpdate-step
124
125- Make sure enable-hourly-todr-sync is always disabled
126  What about NextStep and OpenVMS, where hourly TODR sync used to be enabled?
127
128- Check dcfd.c for variables that need to be volatile.
