time-setting script

[phr-2002]

I found Simon Foster's nice little SNTP client on the ASPN Cookbook
site and adapted it to set the hardware clock under the Linux kernel:

I find it pretty useful for adjusting my computer clock every
now and then, without the hassle of setting up a real NTP system.

I think GNU/Linux should include a utility like this, maybe not the
one above (it's written in Python) but something similar in Perl or C
would be just a dozen or so lines of code.
