As it is, I am really not even keeping up with the PTP patches, and so
I really cannot look after either of these SyncE programs.

I think the ideal solution would be a new project that combines the
best aspects of both efforts.

If that can't happen, then I would suggest adopting two distinct names
for the binaries, like:

- synce4l
- synced

The second one has a nice ring to it, don't you think?

Thanks,
