Greetings, All!

I had this issue running for some time, but recently I've (with a little help
from my friends) stumbled upon another Cygwin rip-off, and the hack they
implemented to get around this issue. (Yes, they just renamed the ping.exe to
cygping.)

I understand, that some of the ping functionality, indeed, require raw device
access, but if it is possible to avoid elevated calls for basic functions,
that would be highly appreciated.
