Not I, said the fly...  Just as I thought I'd get some development
time at home, my job made a big shift.  I did encourage Joshua to go
ahead and pursue it and not wait for me, but I've not seen anything
since.

The easiest way would probably be OpenNTP - it's incredibly
lightweight and simple.  However, there seems to be some concern about
it abusing NTP servers; I have no personal experience with that, so I
leave that answer to those who do.
