After calling the cap_init(3) function Casper will fork from it's original
process, using pdfork(2). Forking from a process has a lot of advantages:
1. We have the same cwd as the original process.
2. The same uid, gid and groups.
3. The same MAC labels.
4. The same descriptor table.
5. The same routing table.
6. The same umask.
7. The same cpuset(1).
From now services are also in form of libraries.
We also removed libcapsicum at all and converts existing program using Casper
to new architecture.

Off by default, build behaves normally.
WITH_META_MODE we get auto objdir creation, the ability to
start build from anywhere in the tree.
Still need to add real targets under targets/ to build packages.

network packets that we parse and not against local users trying to gain root
access through ping's set-uid bit - this is handled by dropping privileges very
early in ping.

current version of FreeBSD, this isn't guarenteed by the API. Custom
security modules, or future implementations of the setuid and setgid
may fail.

wait time for a packet. This allows to:
- Count number of packets received before and after specified
time.
- Shorten time of execution of 'ping -c 1' scripts.

ping ICMP payload of packets being sent is increased with given step.
Sweeping pings are useful for testing problematic channels, MTU
issues or traffic policing functions in networks.

the NOKERNINFO flag only marginally de-clutters the output and
has a number of unwanted side effects:
o The kernel info might be what you want to see
o ^T is left non-functional if ping is killed non-cleanly
o "ping -q foo &" gets suspended on tty output
