OK I seem to have got something working---thanks Jean!

I'll write what I did in case either 1) its wrong and I've potentially
destroyed my Touch, or 2) its helpful (and easier than it appeared)

1) since Jean includes the file ntp.touch.tar.gz I don't see why I
can't just extract the desired files and programs from there and put
them on my touch (no building etc needed)

2) Extracting this file (on my main computer) produces two files:
usr/sbin/ntpclient
etc/init.d/ntpclient

3) edit the second one (which is a text file) by replacing two instance
of:  "ntp.logitech.com"
with "pool.ntp.org" (or whatever is your preferred ntp server)

4) scp these files over into the corresponding directories (/usr/sbin/ 
and /etc/init.d) on my touch

5) ssh to the touch and run ntpclient:

ssh [email protected]
/etc/init.d/ntpclient start

6) it seems to work

7) edit the file /etc/init.d/rcS  on the Touch by adding the line  

/etc/init.d/ntpclient start &

in the place where Jean says (i.e. the penulminate command), so it
restarts each time we reboot the touch
(this involved scp'ing the file back and forth as there seems to be no
file editor on the touch)

Presumably this procedure will need redoing everytime there is an
upgrade? Is there something I missed by not building etc?
