For a newbie like me, a TUI (or a GUI) is an easy way to check if I have
setup my system reasonably correctly.

The way I got into all this for the first time ever was a patch to gpsd.php
to fix a map that showed where I was (I knew where I was, I just wanted the
map that had bit-rot to show it).

I think of ntpmon like the Linux 'top' utility.  It shows, at a snapshot
that might miss something interesting, what the system state is.  It does
not really help me with performance tuning, but it tells me that there
_isn't_ a performance issue in the system, as a whole.

Unfortunately, I am unable to play with this new toy, as all my servers
that run NTPsec are in the pool, and ntpmon just goes to sleep on them (see
issue #206).
