Cool!

Even better, that would mean affordable proper timekeeping for most of us in Europe. And with slight modifications WWVB could (maybe?) be supported too (for our American friends).

That would be nice; I think it might be best to pack it into a HOWTO and make a tarball of the software and the other documentation. The HOWTO could contain some general info and the tarball should contain the larger stuff.
(there's a HOWTO-writers HOWTO so you know where to submit this stuff)
