Sounds good, Bruce.  The best way to get that integrated with ntpd is
first integrate it with the existing refclock_shm.c, so that both
flavors of shared memory are supported by a single driver.  That
allows us to integrate the new driver without adding as much to the
maintenance burden of carrying around so many different drivers.  I
realize that is in conflict with your goal of supporting only POSIX
systems, but then, so is ntpd in general.  Don't be surprised to see
me extend your named-shared-memory driver to work on Windows one
day...

Don't be shy about suggesting eliminating dead code while you're at it.

Thanks again,
Dave Hart
