It's a simple library, available here:

I also have the beginning of some documentation here (enough to at least
get a feel for it):

I apologize for top-posting earlier.  I knew better, but forgot.

Dave Abrahams has it right... drop-frame time-code cannot be expressed
using ratios or rational (or even irrational) numbers with precise accuracy
to the definition.  The web page he linked does a good job of defining the
standard, which should explain what you might see in the source code where
NTSC DF is concerned.
