check_ntp_peer/check_ntp_time; NTP versions

[Stewart, Eric]

We have run into a time sync appliance (that uses GPS signals to set the time) that doesn’t speak (not willingly, at least) NTP v2.  It will speak NTP v4.  Alas, check_ntp_peer does not seem to speak NTP v4, but only v2.  check_ntp (which claims that it is deprecated) does speak v4, as does check_ntp_time, but check_ntp_time is meant for comparing the local clock’s offset.

So … any plans to update check_ntp_peer to do its thing using NTP v4?
