Anything that triggers a surprise dependency to load libx, a font renderer,

the uninstalled stuff. It's not always easy to predict what will *remain*
uninstalled.

My own preference would be
ntploggps
ntplogheat
ntpmakeheat
eg. {prefix}{verb}{thenoun}
"temp" is too overloaded as "temporary".

Yo All!
Eric wants all ntp programs to start with 'ntp' and not have hypens.
So, how about:
gps-log -> ntpgpslog
temp-log -> ntptemplog
makeheat -> ntpmakeheat
Suggestions?
