I think your no-switch approach is good for things where the choice is A or B, 
like picking the right baud rate.

But this isn't one of those cases.  This is an X doesn't work.  Did the user 
intend that or is something broken?  In the obscure case where IPv6 is not 
enabled on the system, I'm happy to add a "-4" to ntp.conf to tell the system 
I expect that.

I've got the code working, but it also ignores lots of other cases where I 
want it to crash.  I should be able to fix that, just more code and I need to 
get the internal interface right.

I also disagree with your only need to test once.  If we only need to test 
once, why are we maintaining a complicated test package?  I agree that this 
sort of code is not likely to break due to system upgrades so the need for 
continual testing is not high.  On the other hand, it would be nice to test it 
on all OSes.
