We already have two ways to monitor the offset.

1. You can query the slave's estimated offset using the
   CURRENT_DATA_SET management message.  (The TIME_STATUS_NP message
   provides the same value.)

2. You measure the offset using the NetSync Monitor protocol.  This is
   implemented in the 'nsm' program.  See nsm.c.

I recommend using one of those two methods rather than implementing
yet another way.
