It doesn't contain anything for a couple of reasons.
- For ICMP you need raw sockets, but raw sockets were never really
supported in Cygwin.
- Windows disallows non-admin users to use them which makes them
somewhat less useful.
- There are not a lot of complaints about this fact so I assume
not many people really need it.
And last but not least
- Nobody contributed any code so far.
