files in the parent directory for directions on how to use these files.
Guess.sh script to figure out what machine and operating system
is running this thing. Prizes awarded for new machines
added to the list.
autoconf awesome script swiped from Jeff Johnson (who may have
swiped it from GNU) which delves deep into the system
files to reveal dark secrets necessary to port NTP to
everything except sewing machines. Unfinished work.
makeconfig.sh shell script that calles Guess.sh and then figures out
what compiler is available, then builds the
configuration file in the base directory. Finally, it
launches the sed script Config.sed in the base directory
to make the makefiles used by most programs.
