It just needs a Windows hack for non-Admin users, starting with Windows
XP.  If a user get's a permission denied when trying to open a SOCK_RAW
socket, it should fall back to a Windows-specific routine using the IP
Helper functions IcmpCreateFile/IcmpSendEcho2/IcmpCloseHandle, or the
IPv6 equivalents Icmp6CreateFile/Icmp6SendEcho2/Icmp6CloseHandle.
