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)
