Dave,
Red herring.
You are one of the very few people who I have heard say this.
I have received a number of new drivers from people who have never before
piped up who send me new drivers that include:
- adding the small handful of (pretty obvious and often replicated) lines to
configure.ac
- adding the code table entries that you clearly know how to do
- adding the module name to the obvious line in ntpd/Makefile.am
Forgive me, but I'm having a problem seeing how anybody could construe this
as intricate.
And for anybody who just feels they have better things to do than to figure
this out, I have volunteered publicly and often that I'm happy to either do
it for them or work with anybody to do these things.
