    2:       *** IF YOU CAN HELP FIX ANY OF THESE THINGS, PLEASE DO! ***
    3: 
    4: 010402: Look harder at -lm and -lelf - they are needed less and less...
    5: 
    6: 970711: Look Real Hard at changing the key stuff from u_long to u_int32.
    7: 
    8: 970711: Make sure it's safe to convert proto_config's 2nd argument from
    9: 	u_long to u_int32.  Watch "set" in ntp_request.c:setclr_flags().
   10: 
   11: 970318: in hourly_stats(?), squawk if the magnitude of the drift is,
   12: 	say, >400.
   13: 
   14: 970301: Implement the utmp/wtmp timestamping on time steps.
   15: 
   16: 970210: Find a way to dump the current configuration to either syslog or
   17: 	a file.
   18: 
   19: Problems that need to be fixed:
   20: 
   21: - Get rid of the old SYS_* macros:
   22:   (It's worth noting that any code that would have been "enabled" by any
   23:   of these macros has not been used since 5.83, and there have been very
   24:   few complaints...)

   97:   Fujitsu's UXP				--enable-adjtime-is-accurate
   98: 					--enable-step-slew
   99:

  109: 
  110:   OpenVMS				--enable-slew-always
  111: 					--enable-hourly-todr-sync
  112: 
  113:   Is adjtime accurate on ALL sysv4* machines?
  114:   Can we identify DomainOS with *-apollo-* ?
  115:   Do we catch all Unixware machines with *-univel-sysv* ?
  116: 
  117: - Combine enable-step-slew and enable-ntpdate-step
  118: 
  119: - Make sure enable-hourly-todr-sync is always disabled
  120:   What about NextStep and OpenVMS, where hourly TODR sync used to be enabled?
  121: 
  122: - Check dcfd.c for variables that need to be volatile.
