Good suggestion.  Thanks.

Ahh.  Good.

My expectation is that timestamps would never leave the front end.  The 
subtracts and pivot would happen there resulting in an offset.

There is a back door for l_fp and/or timestamps.  That's ntpq.
We may have to convert offsets back to l_fp for backward compatibility with 
old ntpq.
There may be some timestamps saved that I don't know about.  If they are used 
for other than ntpq then they will need timespec.
