I am working on a cdev that I will (in 2-3 days) call 'alpha-test'
quality. It only implements UDP Time, not the official NTP. The math
was too deep for me, so I just do a UDP Time request with a user
controlablle time-out. It will also handle daylight savings time
(partially implemented now) and will operate in the background at
specified intervals if you really want (not yet implemented). Otherwise
it sets it at startup or when you tell it to in the cdev.

Write if you want it.
