The Reference Implementation of the timezone library includes time2posix() and posix2time() functions which perform the conversion between POSIX's variable-length seconds and normal seconds since the epoch, provided that the system's default timezone is one that includes an accurate table of leap seconds. It would be a fairly simple (but tedious and error-prone) mechanical operation to make the NTP Reference Implementation use this interface (or construct its own) to convert all system timestamps back and forth.
