[bug-inetutils] ping -W timeout

[Simon Josefsson]

There is a bug report about missing -W parameter in ping for
compatibility with iputils-ping:

http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=566845

I've pushed a patch implementing this.  The most trivial way of testing
it works, at least.

iputils:
