I could be wildly wrong, but I think that some systems like
MacOS do not support shared memory, required for SHM().  The
JSON driver is way to get PPS+gpsd+ntpd running on MacOS.  And
other OS that also fail to have /dev/shm.

If I were to fix it, I would rip out almost all the options and
drop it back to basics.  Then get it working on MacOS at a minimum.

If that works for you, it should probably get a new name and driver 
number to avoid confustion.

Not major, but I would like to get daemoneye's termerature logger
done too.  That seems to be coming along nicely no worries there, just
a bit more sweat.
