Thanks David!  I only had a few minutes for testing right now, but it
compiled and ran (simple "nping scanme.nmap.org") on Linux.  On
Windows 7 X64, I was able to build an installer, install it, and Nping
seemed to run fine (though again, I only tried simple commands).

Nping will be a great new feature of the next release, and I hope
we're able to improve it even more during SoC 2010!  In particular,
I'm super excited about the echo mode functionality we talked about
last year (where it shows you the packets received by a listener next
to the packets which you send).

Cheers,
