We can already do that.  Try building GPSD with just the NMEA0183
driver and SHM and a fixed baud rate sometime - socket_export turned
off so it doesn't even speak JSON and doesn't watch port 2947. It works;
I was careful about that. It's *tiny*.

The main advantage of the gpsd-lite approach is that we know how to testframe
that really well and we already do it.

This is a problem I solved a *long* time ago, well before working on NTPsec.
