When configuring --enable-RIPENCC is needed.

Compared to original ntpd there are no changes in ntp.conf.
E.g. at this moment I test
with these settings:
server 127.127.43.0     # RIPENCC
fudge 127.127.43.0 time1 0.0002
fudge 127.127.43.0 stratum 13

The only thing the user must care: (s)he have to create another
symlink (aside /dev/gps$UNIT) called /dev/gpspps$UNIT.
(Just like in case of NMEA driver.)

More exactly the PPS device selection is done as follows:

If ntpd can open /dev/gpspps$UNIT this will be the PPS source.
Otherwise if API supports time_pps_findsource() it is used to find
a an appropriate source of PPS. (As Rodolfo wrote.)
If time_pps_findsource() fails or no time_pps_findsource() at all
driver uses the serial device (/dev/gps$UNIT) in order to be
compatible with old API.

Pardon?
I sent you the patch today.
I thought it could be put aside Rodolfo's patch on ftp.enneenne.com.
Do you want me to publish it on my web site? No problem.
