:Maybe make it like Microsoft's PING where it pings 4 times unless you use
:the -t option.
:-t Ping the specifed host until interrupted.

aawwgh ahhgh yahhhwg! The list is contaminated!
I kinda like an option better then '-c 0', though. -t isn't used,
we might as well use it unless someone knows an option used by other
UNIX's that does the same thing or if it conflicts with a -t used
for ping by other UNIX's for other purposes.
Currently both -c 0 and -t dump ping with 'invalid count' or 'illegal
option', so the issue of the lack of backwards compatibility is the
same either way.
