That's a matter of taste, but MAX_TICKADJ just works as well, so why 
change it?

I must say I really hate this kind of formating, it either gets out of 
sync or requires reformatting. I would very strongly prefer not to 
introduce this sort of formatting here.

The function argument is actually s32 and depending on NTP_INTERVAL_FREQ 
it might produce a link error on 32bit archs.
