USE="parse-clocks" sets the "--enable-parse-clocks" option to |
| 15 |
`configure`, which causes configure to "include all suitable PARSE |
| 16 |
clocks". A better description might be in order. Let us know when you |
| 17 |
have a good one. I'm personally interested, as setting up an ntp client |
| 18 |
on my machine is rapidly rising to the top of my future-projects list. |
