Subject: [ANN] net-pingsimple 0.1.0

I've updated net-pingsimple:

Changelog:
- Added ping? alias for ping method
- Warnings now handled separately
- Corrected a mis-named variable in PingExternal
- Fixed the install.rb file
- Updated and added docs
- Renamed tarball to net-pingsimple to reflect RAA naming convention

Synopsis:
require "net/pingsimple"
include Net

pt = Net::PingTCP.new(host)
pu = Net::PingUDP.new(host)
pe = Net::PingExternal.new(host)

if pt.ping?
   puts "TCP ping successful"
else
   puts "TCP ping unsuccessful: " +  pt.exception
end

if pu.ping?
   puts "UDP ping successful"
else
   puts "UDP ping unsuccessful: " +  pu.exception
end

if pe.ping?
   puts "External ping successful"
   unless pe.warning.nil?
      puts "Warning encountered: " + pe.warning
   end
else
   puts "External ping unsuccessful: " +  pe.exception
end
