+010402: Look harder at -lm and -lelf - they are needed less and less...
+
+970711: Look Real Hard at changing the key stuff from u_long to u_int32.
+
+970711: Make sure it's safe to convert proto_config's 2nd argument from
+	u_long to u_int32.  Watch "set" in ntp_request.c:setclr_flags().
+
+970318: in hourly_stats(?), squawk if the magnitude of the drift is,
+	say, >400.
+
+970301: Implement the utmp/wtmp timestamping on time steps.
+
+970210: Find a way to dump the current configuration to either syslog or
+	a file.
+
+Problems that need to be fixed:
+
+- Get rid of the old SYS_* macros:
+  (It's worth noting that any code that would have been "enabled" by any
+  of these macros has not been used since 5.83, and there have been very
+  few complaints...)

+- config.guess might need help to identify:
+
+  Fujitsu's UXP				--enable-adjtime-is-accurate
+					--enable-step-slew
+
+  Unixware				--enable-adjtime-is-accurate
+					--enable-tick=10000
+					--enable-tickadj=80
+					--enable-udp-wildcard
+					--disable-step-slew
+
+  DomainOS				--enable-adjtime-is-accurate
+					--disable-kmem
+					--enable-tick=1000000
+
+  OpenVMS				--enable-slew-always
+					--enable-hourly-todr-sync
+
+  Is adjtime accurate on ALL sysv4* machines?
+  Can we identify DomainOS with *-apollo-* ?
+  Do we catch all Unixware machines with *-univel-sysv* ?
+
+- Combine enable-step-slew and enable-ntpdate-step
+
+- Make sure enable-hourly-todr-sync is always disabled
+  What about NextStep and OpenVMS, where hourly TODR sync used to be enabled?
+
+- Check dcfd.c for variables that need to be volatile.
