subnet, and that host is down/turned off, the Tnm::icmp echo command
will fail rather than return an unreachable indication on some
occasions. This is because the nmicmpd program will occasionally
get an EHOSTDOWN error when doing a sendto() when the ARP entry
resolution times out.
This is a problem since this API can support a list of hosts to
send traffic to, and a single error as described will abort the
entire operation.
(The reviewer claims that he could not duplicate the problem,
but that the patch seems like a good idea anyway.)

a bug in the icmp-command implementation, where an off-by-one

Perhaps, some day the security officer will tell me what _exactly_ is
wrong with regular Scotty (this one is beta of the new version), and
I'll be able to freshen that one up too and remove the FORBIDDEN.
patch-af is new to adjust configure in order to find the tcl/tk config
files.
Also adjust patch-aa which didn't completely reflect the previous upgrade
to scotty-2.1.6 (version numbers off-by-one.)
and patch it up a bit. Yes indeed, phk is back in the tcl+snmp arena.
Update to 2.1.5, add the ability to probe several communities with
the IP-discover function.
