msntp and openntp size comparison

pfsense
# ls -la `which msntp`
-rwxr-xr-x  1 root  wheel  455176 Nov 28 16:29 /usr/local/bin/msntp

openbsd
$ ls -la `which ntpd`
-r-xr-xr-x  1 root  bin  38784 Feb 14 23:40 /usr/sbin/ntpd

On free the size will likely change, but it's at least a factor of 10
smaller right now!  I can certainly find 300K worth of PHP to replace
it (embedded platform can always use a few extra K)
