traceroute: new implementation is ready

[Dmitry Butskoy]

((Was:
  FC5 was shipped with some alternate traceroute implementation, which 
allows using without "setuid root". Unfortunately, it does not support 
"traceroute -I":  i.e.  trace using ICMP ECHO instead of UDP datagrams.
But icmp trace support is actually required by production environments.
))


I was very angry. But I've decided to direct the anger to a constructive 
channel. :)

I've written the new traceroute implementation from the scratch.


* Besides ICMP, the TCP support added too (like in "tcptraceroute")
* All udp/icmp/tcp methods work for both IPv4/IPv6
* The code is focused to be scalable for future features

The discussion and first testers' results are in the bottom of bugzilla 
ticket #176587 <https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=176587>

SRPM is here: 
http://dmitry.butskoy.name/traceroute/traceroute-1.9.3-1.src.rpm

Certainly, who is capable, please, test it.


Some questions:

- Where is the best place to continue discussion/tester results etc.? 
Just here, in bugzilla or some wiki page? Note, that this implementation 
is focused to Linux/Fedora, and was developed in hoping to be a good 
replacement for FC6 (or a first update for FC6 :) )

- How it should be named? Maybe "traceroute2" ?  (I plan the final 
version will be 2.0 ...)

- Where it should be hosted? (SourceForge?)

- While I am warmed up and have some free time:  What additional 
features can be added to this implementation?
