That's a good collection.  Lots of museum bait.

There is a tradeoff between broader compatibility and clutter in the code.

This case is clean enough that I'm OK with putting it in.  I'll go work on 
it.

How big is the patch for OSX?  I think that's much more interesting that 
ancient versions of OpenSSL.  Can we set it up with all the extra code in 
a compatibility module that just implements ntp_adjtime() and only gets 
linked in if needed?
