We don't need to worry about it this year, and possibly even next year:

	http://hpiers.obspm.fr/iers/bul/bulc/bulletinc.dat

Presumably, when the next leap second is announced, Dan will have to release a 
new leapsecs.dat.  I believe that there is a way to use zic to generate the 
leapsec.dat file, but I'm not sure where the source comes from.  As pointed out 
in an earlier libtai archived message:

	http://www.geocrawler.com/archives/3/509/2000/3/0/3514632/

Dan has a (AFAIK unsupported) service here:

	$ dnstxt leap.yp.to
	8222222206660602022066620620.

but how that is used, I don't know...
