  Log:
  Add clarifications about the information that ntp_gettime returns.
  TAI is a timescale, just like UTC.  The tai field returns the offset
  between the two, and isn't really used for precision time keeping.
  Explain in brief what a positive and a negative leap seconds are.  Add
  some URLs to very useful web pages about time and time keeping for
  more information on using this API.
