Esp8266 - Including Two New Functions

I am working on two new functions for my Esp8266 Project Template (see previous post). The two new functions are:
  • NTP Client to obtain Unix Time, and Provide Low Quality Time as an NTP Server
  • Configuration for New Node via a query to a Previously Configured Node.
The Idea is that a newly constructed Esp8266 node should be able to configure itself based on similar node in the immediate area. The new node will be able to obtain SSID, Passwd and maybe Epoch (Unix Time) from a working node. Once the new node is online, a more accurate time will be obtained from a national NTP server (i.e., pool.ntp.org).

The full list of obtained configuration items have yet to determined.

I have some of this working, but it is still work in progress.
