===========

yaping is yet another ping utility for nodejs

I wouldn't use it if I were you. I don't even use it and I'm me. I'm pushing this to further my

dream of raw sockets in node. When that day arrives I'll port a random python icmp ping implementation to node, check the pcap caputres against

the unix ping utility and call it a day.

In actuality, that will only be the start of my day. I'll also create a ping response server that lies about how fast

it responds. ([You can totally do that](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ping#Payload), it's awesome.) All my servers

will show negative latency, and you can't prove it's a lie.

This simple function should

  * do dns lookups

  * ping once

  * timeout after 10 seconds

  * communicate all the well though out error codes that ping provides

  * spawn a child processes out of wedlock

Patches/Pull requests welcome.
