OmniSync is a driver for NTPd for people who are
firewall-challenged. It enables systems to
synchronize time when port 123 (UDP) is blocked.
It allows you to sync against the daytime service
(port 13 TCP/UDP), time (port 37 TCP/UDP), SNTS,
IRC, ICMP, and HTTP and HTTPS (both also via proxy server). It doesn't directly set the clock but
uses NTPd for this, as this enables you to have
multiple time sources as well as bad-chimer
detection, etc.

Changes:
This release can synchronize the internal clock to the time returned by an SNMP server. It correctly sets the precision for ICMP timestamp, now compiles on IRIX as well, and the initial clock set can now use an average of multiple measurements.
