AFAIK, the native (e.g. the shipped-with-windows) ping doesn't use the
ICMP dll either. That's why I installed FPing. However, FPing (or even
shipped-with-windows ping) are native, not cygwin progs. I don't like
using native progs at all, ever, if I can help it. They always lead to
surprises: pty issues in terminals, issues with pathnames, difficulties
in complex commands (pipes |), etc.
But it was just an idle thought.
