Work item list: lfpfloat to Python

[Hal Murray]

NB typo:  It's lfptofloat rather than lfpfloat
(I'm leaving the subject un-fixed to help mail archives)

Looks like Gary is suggesting a new item for your list.

The Python code calls lfptofloat in  8 places.  Some are offsets.  Some are 
times.
We should look at the ones that are times and process the fractional part in 
a way that doesn't lose precision.

Maybe we should have another item for the pivoting (in the Python code).  I 
think we need to be able to see both the pivoted and un-pivoted versions.

ntpq needs to be able to show the EPOCH a server is using.
