Hence "not the best solution". And it wouldn't be modifying the 
'standard' library because ping wasn't included in the standard library; 
therefore it isn't standard. I would agree with you if I was replacing 
Find or something with a 1.8 distro file, a file that was already 
included in the standard library.

If ping is re-added in a future release, the 1.8v of ping will be 
overwritten.
