clockspeed uses a hardware tick counter to compensate for a persistently
fast or slow system clock. Given a few time measurements from a reliable
source, it computes and then eliminates the clock skew.

sntpclock checks another system's NTP clock, and prints the results in a
format suitable for input to clockspeed. sntpclock is the simplest
available NTP/SNTP client.

taiclock and taiclockd form an even simpler alternative to SNTP. They
are suitable for precise time synchronization over a local area network,
without the hassles and potential security problems of an NTP server.

This version of clockspeed can use the Pentium RDTSC tick counter or the
Solaris gethrtime() nanosecond counter.

A port to non-i386 platforms was done using the clock_gettime(2)
function. Since this is somewhat experimental, there might be some
tiny precision differences from the i386 platform versions. You
have been warned!

o Remove ONLY_FOR_ARCHS limitation by adding timing support other
  than RDTSC registers from Pentium. After a reminder by Garrett
  Wollman <wollman@FreeBSD.org> [1] that FreeBSD has a gethrtime()
  similar function, added experimental support for FreeBSD
  clock_gettime(2) which should work in all FreeBSD supported ARCHes

o Add notes in both DESCR and PKGMESSAGE that there might be precision
  differences since this is experimental code

Mark as ONLY_FOR_ARCHS i386 since it requires either a pentium
hardware tick counter or an equivalent Solaris gethrtime() syscall.
This should be investigated further. FreeBSD might have an equivalent
syscall.

Half of these ones missed yesterday while converting to USE_REINPLACE.
The other half needs perl to build.

Noticed on bento and others (full mailbox :-)

Sanitize MASTER_SITES

Use ${ECHO_CMD} instead of ${ECHO} where you mean the echo command;   the ECHO
macro is set to "echo" by default, but it is set to "true" if   make(1) is
invoked with the -s option while ECHO_CMD is always set to   the echo command.  
 

1) Install leapsecs.dat (leapseconds support)   2) Add PKGMESSAGE with
additional FreeBSD specific installation      information   3) Install sample
startup script   4) Bump PORTREVISION due to (1)    

Add new MASTER_SITES    

Hopefully finish syncing with bsd.port.mk rev 1.361 - use bsd.port.mk   defined
PORTDOCS PLIST_SUB.    

Update to sync with bsd.port.mk rev 1.361 - use PORTDOCS that is now in  
bsd.port.mk, for easy removal of documentation.  I left alone one port -  
japanese/elisa8x8 (or something like that), because it appeared to have   some
rather weird way of doing PORTDOCS substitution.    

Massive style enforcement - use ^I instead of spaces for variables identation.
