The only case where we should be messing with packets directly is ping,
and I definitely want libicmp to stay a C library. There's a little bit
in FTP with setting up data channels, but even that is just analysing
data on the stream.
Now, I could wish for C++'s STL sometimes, but we decided awhile ago
that we weren't going to require C++ at all. =)
