[time-nuts] Why these Crystal Frequencies?

adding to the sub ordinate: 32.768khz is a common resonator / crystal
frequency for Real Time Clocks.  Note this is not time-nut RTC

My general rule of thumb is that anything that will cleanly divide by 2 (a
binary number) can be use for time applications with little or no work in
either hardware or software.
