Then we have to learn how to drive the existing implementations, and learn 
enough about how they operate so we can insert printfs for debugging.  I think 
I'd be happier working with code and people I'm familiar with.

We can bring our client and server up in steps.
  Dummy KE client and server - just do handshake
  cookies - pack and unpack via tests
  KE server returns cookies
  KE client returns cookies to NTP client
  NTP client sends cookies to NTP server.
  NTP server decodes/processes cookies.
  NTP server sends back new cookies.

We can get a layer of parallelism by using dummy cookies.
