Support for automatic time sampling over NTP

Support for automatic time sampling over NTP has been added into main sources tree. Now client tries to check whether there is ntpd running on current machine. And if it’s not, creates a time sampling thread in order to maintain better accuracy of timestamps which are given by GetAdjustedTime() function.

Now client supports automatic selection of optimal source of time between NTP, median of p2p clocks and system time.

New libraries

Few weeks ago Balthazar have published a simple client implementation of Stratum protocol.

https://github.com/CryptoManiac/StratumLibrary

Currently working on pure C# implementation of basic NVC protocol features.

While libraries are far from being complete, this code already may be useful for block or transaction parsing, generation of addresses etc. The goal is to implement a minimum which is required to create our own implementation of Electrum client.
