[time-nuts] How to get 32.768KHz from 10MHz.

The only thing that comes to mind is to divide the 10 MHz by 2500000 
(5x5x100000) and then use a phase locked loop to multiply by 8192.  Of 
course the PLL would best control a varactor with a clock crystal vice 
controlling an RC oscillator.  Other divisor multiplier pairs are: 
1250000/4096, 625000/2048, 312500/1024, 156250/512, and 78125/256.
