Linux clock-setting script

[David LeBlanc]

No, the ftp site I pointed to has a simple client in C - admittedly with
some "windowisms" for setting the cmos clock on a PC mobo (which might
translate pretty directly over to linux). It's spread over several files and
looks to be about 20kb total of c source.
