As an experiment I've set up a TXT record in DNS for leap.yp.to with a
year-by-year history of leap seconds since 1972. On a UNIX machine try

   nslookup -type=txt leap.yp.to

or

   dig txt leap.yp.to

It's easy to do this automatically every May and November, and to
convert the results to libtai's /etc/leapsecs.dat format.
