   Unfortunately the code de-duplication part turned out to be
   difficult... replacing InetUtils' libls/fts.? with fts.? from
   gnulib builds fine but makes ftpd's stop producing any output when
   listing directories.  Lucky I added the self-test first so we
   noticed this problem.  I don't have time to debug libls further, so
   I'll leave that part.

Grand, I did some minor clean ups, and made ping6 work on weirdo
platforms that don't have IPV6_HOPLIMIT (they use the RFC2292 prefixed
version like IPV6_2292HOPLIMIT; go figure).

What else is left?
