You will find a Windows program and a Unix file you can compile for tweaking
the system time on my QRZ page.
I call it TimeFudge.

A few comments regarding this topic from the perspective of someone who does
most of their WSJT-X operating from portable locations.
It is nice to be able to operate without needing an automated means of keeping
the computer clock synced to an external source. Most of the time an initial
manual sync of the computer clock while listening to WWV or WWVH works okay for
me for a number of hours. (My main interest is operating 50 Mhz and typically
during the day time my 50 Mhz antenna can receive a usable signal from WWV or
WWVH.) When running FT8 I can usually get a sense as to how accurate my
computer clock is by looking at the DT values for received and decoded signals
and on occasion I have had to manually re sync the PC clock.
I have recently started to use WiFi to tether my PC to my iPhone when I have
cellular coverage (mostly to enable access to chat boards.) Evaluating how
well my PC and its software can use that connectivity to sync its clock is on
my to do list.
I personally don't see a need for any WSJT-X program changes to accommodate the
way I choose to operate, but I can see why some people might want to see more
WSJT-X features to facilitate this style of operation. I am more than happy
to let the development team decide what if anything they want to do regarding
this.
The experiences and views of others may differ from mine.
