Why do you hate to see it go?  What is so special about NTPd, except for
the picosecond precision which we do not need nor care about that much?

IPCop 'requirements' would be something like:
client and server mode, small as possible, supported, quick sync after
power-on.
Accuracy somemwere below 1 second, not that important if it is 1, 10,
100 or 500 msec.
