[bug-inetutils] ping vs ping6 vs libicmp

[Debarshi Ray]

As I had mentioned in another thread, I am keen to factor out the
common code between ping and ping6. This is necessary partly to fix
some bugs in ping6, but would be most helpful while implementing new
features and fixing bugs. Now I find that we have libicmp/ and a bunch
of ping_*.[ch] files in ping/. Since libping is built as a static
library, I was wondering whether we should shift all the common
portions into libicmp and keep only the ping/ping6 specific code in
the ping directory. Or should it be something else?

Happy hacking,
