I'm not sure but I think the way this has been done (--with-binsubdir=sbin) is 
going to bypass the ability to set sbindir in the distro config. If that's the 
case then I don't think this is a good change, although I appreciate having 
ntpd in /usr/sbin by default would be more appropriate.

The support is already there, it's just off by default and that was 
intentional. Those that need this can easily enable it in their distro config.

Cheers,
Paul
