Thanks Bob and everyone else for their input. The EQT really does change
way into the future.
I am leaning towards Kevin Karney website:
http://www.precisedirections.co.uk/Sundials/index.html using a “Victorian EOT”
table adding or subtracting minutes. I could set it into the future 2050 and
after that I am sure I will not be around or if the sundial is still standing.
Thanks,

I have used Pyephem (a Python programming module) for accurate
computation of solar transit and have put it to service to compute EOT
for Ken's latitude and longitude. However, doing it to the second is
pure fiction as the tropical year does not precisely repeat after 4
years cycle ... and any one year in the 4 year cycle is off even more.
