Description
Port the MultiPing module to Drupal 6. Seeing how ping module is being removed from core, we should have a viable alternative to it in contrib. This means we'll have to update MultiPing to Drupal 6, and then port it to Drupal 7 when Drupal 7 starts being released. This way, people who use the Ping module will be able to move to MultiPing when they make the move to Drupal 7.

These are my first efforts with Drupal 6... but I try to do a rough port of Multiping to Drupal 6. As soon as I get something done, I'll put it in the module's cvs repository.

Ok, I think I've got something worth committing :)
The module doesn't cause any obvious errors when running in Drupal 6, but it has to be thoroughly tested. Perhaps someone with more D6 experience should have a glance at the code.

There is still more work to do on this. Me and jonathan1055 are trying to find out what needs to be done, what has been done outside of Drupal.org and how to finally get this module officially stable for Drupal 6.
There's a follow up patch to this port in #517706: Code improvement patch, as well as some discussion by me and Jonathan on the future of the module, and there's a discussion regarding the future maintainer ship of Multiping in #537962: The future maintainership of Multiping

At least on my test site, the dev version is working pretty nicely; I hesitated to make a release tag for two reasons:

"works for me" ! Thanks.
Will post more later. I have lots of mods, but I think the first thing is to tidy up the code. I am going to review the patch(es) we have so far.
