I think writing a leapfeatcher task for periodic daily|weekly would
make a nice junior-hacker task.  It would be nice if it only hit the
network when expiration of the installed file is imminent (like within
a month), and only if both ntp and the leapfile feature are enabled and
stuff like that.  It should probably have a configurable list of URLs t
o fetch from.
