echoping is non-default optional but very useful dependency of the SmokePing (net-mgmt/smokeping). I use the software and will maintain the port. While here, make it possible to build echoping with GNU dns/libidn2 instead of dns/libidn. For now, still use libidn to preserve POLA. Default build not changed comparing with one before removal, so PORTREVISION not bumped.

"echoping" is a small program to test (approximatively) performances of a
|
|
remote host by sending it TCP "echo" (or other protocol) packets.
|
|
|
|
- uses the protocols echo, discard, chargen or HTTP,
|
|
- uses UDP instead of TCP for the protocols which accept it (like echo),
|
|
- can repeat the test and display various measures about it,
|
|
- can use T/TCP on systems which support it.
|

|
It's useful for checking that http servers are running and not wedged.
