I've got autoconf working more or less with nocol, but it's lead me into
reworking a lot of the x-platform portability stuff so that it's test-driven
rather than being driven by checking the OS.
Anyway, some of the worst tangle of conditional checking involves ping and
multiping. Rather than figuring out how to write a configure time test to see
what arguments ping takes, I'm thinking about just always using multiping.
Is there a good reason not to do this?
Also, I'm not up to this myself, but it seems that it might not be a terrible
idea to steal code from multiping and put it directly in ippingmon to save
spawning a separate process.
