ping_win32

A simple wrapper for Win32 IcmpSendEcho2 function.

Although there has been a handful of ping implementations that wraps the command-line ping utility and it supports variety of platforms including Windows, on Windows platform, it does not support locales other than en-US and it results in severe incompatibility with other locales.

ping_win32 is a faster, efficient, and better replacement for such ping implementations on Windows.
