    Merge branch 'liboping-1.2'

commit db767e93a313902cfbdfd33a6f9b3e4054bcf1f0

    src/oping.c: Added -D <interface name> command line option.
    
    This option sets the outgoing network device to use.
    
    I decided not to reuse the -I command line option for that purpose (which is
    what GNU ping is doing), for the following reasons:
    
     * In theory, an interface name could be confused with a host name.
     * Imho, it's better to specify things explicitly.
     * This approach is more flexible.

    Added support for PING_OPT_DEVICE.
    
    This option may be used to set the outgoing network device to be used. The
    value passed must be a char-pointer to a null-terminated string specifying an
    interface name (e.g. eth0).
    
    Please note that this might not be supported by all operating systems. In that
    case, ping_setopt() sets the error to "operation not supported".

    src/liboping.c: Catch NULL pointers passed to public functions.
    
    Libraries should not segfault - ever - no matter what a user is doing and how
    stupid that might be.

    Added .gitignore.

commit 30ee957b4843140d0d3bae39859d5624824b8feb
Author: Sebastian Harl <sh at tokkee.org>

    src/liboping.c: Let ping_setopt() return -1 if 'value' is NULL.
    
    The manpage states that 'value' must not be NULL. Anyway, imho, it's still
    better to avoid segfaults inside a library.

commit 3ed22ab6a9f4a6fb78513ca7706dc58d7bf95912
Author: Florian Forster <sifnfors at stud.informatik.uni-erlangen.de>

    src/liboping.c: Fix some format strings.

commit 288bac33067ea6c88e2399a8b5ddae051aaaa547
Author: Sebastian Harl <sh at tokkee.org>

    src/liboping.c: Fixed the handling of multiple hosts.
    
    ping_receive_all() used to always pass the first host object to
    ping_receive_one() which used that host object to determine the expected
    address family. Thus, when pinging v4 and v6 hosts in parallel, some of them
    would have never been considered but assumed to be timed out.
    
    While at it, the code has been clarified in regard to matching an ECHO_REPLY
    with the appropriate host object.

commit 2af6e8235f7843a86f6ec519655617f8b114a935
Author: Sebastian Harl <sh at tokkee.org>
Date:   Fri Jul 17 09:39:35 2009 +0200

    src/liboping.c: Do not reset recv_ttl in ping_receive_one().
    
    Instead, reset the value of all host object in ping_receive_all().
    
    ping_receive_one() does not necessarily get a pointer to the host object for
    which we receive a reply, since ICMP messages may be received on _any_ raw
    socket.
