Thanks, very nice - you even updated the documentation! Bonus points for 
that :-)

Unfortunately all of the "xymonnet" code is being ripped apart currently 
and especially the ntp tests have been completely re-done now; they no 
longer require any external binaries - the NTP protocol code is 
built-in. And the configuration files will probably change as well. But 
I'll make sure that the NTP stratum can also be checked in the new version.
