Then put it on the known glitch list and fix it in 1.x

It's required on Fedora.  I set it up ages ago.  I think that was the 
recommended way back then.  It worked.  Nobody raised the issue so I never 
removed it.  It kept on working.  (Or maybe the word did go out and I missed 
it.)



Fedora 26

[murray@hgm ~]$ printenv PYTHONPATH
/usr/local/lib/python2.7/site-packages
[murray@hgm ~]$ ntpq --version
ntpq ntpsec-0.9.7+1434 2017-09-24T02:08:48Z
[murray@hgm ~]$ unset PYTHONPATH
[murray@hgm ~]$ ntpq --version
ntpq: can't find Python NTP library -- check PYTHONPATH.
No module named ntp.control
[murray@hgm ~]$ 

I get the same on FreeBSD.


Should ntpq be able to print its version string without any libraries?
