Specifially it is field 4 of the loopstats file.  I'm just using the
'standard' NTP terminology.  In NTP land both terms are used for the
same thing.

I'm not gonna fight 20+ years of existing usage, but in ntpviz I only
refer to it as 'Frequency Offset'.  But it is the same thing written
to the driftfile, so it is also the drift.

adly they do not align exactly.  gps-log by default logs every 5 seconds 
in one file, and ntpd logs to loopstats when it feels like it.  In
practice when I plot with gnuplot the data is oversampled so the
end results looks the same.
