I pushed the code that moves the NTS-KE server logging to a separate file. 
 It's ntskelog in the stats area.  The error reporting in OpenSSL is 
complicated so please look for quirks, both in the new stuff and in the 
old mode.

------

I think it's time to start thinking about a release.  Is there anything on 
your list that we should be sure to include?

-------

I had a Raspberry Pi hang with bad time yesterday.  It was configured to 
run with only NTS servers and Fedora doesn't have a fake-hwclock,  After a 
power cycle, the time was way way off and it rejected all the certificates.

It would only take a few lines of code to check for time before the build 
date and get a good recent time from the drift file.  I think I mentioned 
something like this a while ago, but don't remember any comments.  Is that 
something we should do? Or carefully avoid?
