Just to avoid confusion: Dr. Mills created xntp, and the reference
clock model, as well as an implementation. That's why his copyright
is there, but he did not write the Linux-specific code. I guess it's
up to the people at Erlangen, Germany (mskuhn, Torsten Duwe), because
they hav experience with that (I blindly assume).
