Then we leave that chunk of libntp available for Python.  It won't be very 
big.

It means we don't have to port that code to Go.  I'd be happy to drop 
refclocks on the first cut and develop the new/wonderful refclock interface 
in Go rather than c.

The refclock code would be running in a separate address space so bugs in a 
refclock don't pollute the main ntpd.
