Update MultiPing 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:

• There are pending patches which have to be included
• I've heard of no success stories; it would be great to have some "works for me" confirmations before officially going green

"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.

Hopefully we can have something good in time for Drupal 7.

Excellent. I like the change to have separate multiping_ variables, instead of the fuss of converting all vars into one global variable stored as an array. Also using the proper system_settings_form. Well done.

ping... per http://drupal.org/node/231437 this is the replacement for Ping module which was removed from core. It would be nice to have something to point people to, what are folks thoughts?
