Comment (by fhgwright):

 I didn't remember this until I was already working on the 1.1.3 update, so
 nothing has changed here.  However, I realized that, as far as the missing
 dependency is concerned, merely adding it unconditionally would be bad,
 since it recursively pulls in 18 dependencies only needed to run a program
 that many people may not even use.  So a proper fix would need to include
 making a variant and build option for ntpviz.

 BTW, I verified that the unpatched upstream 1.1.2 and 1.1.3 build fine on
 10.13 and 10.14, so whatever you did in attempting to build without the
 patches wasn't done correctly.
