I'm wondering if we need it at all. It doesn't exactly have more functionality than Window's on-board ping, plus, it uses RAW sockets. Raw socket I/O is restricted to administrative users since Windows XP. So Cygwin's ping can't work for non-admin users on XP and later. I'd rather drop it entirely from the distro.
