Umm, there's an actively maintained group of 'enhanced' tools
including ping and traceroute around somewhere. I have a recent copy
of traceroute and ping, and it's traceroute definately does source
routing.   I wasn't able to test it though, because we (I :-) removed
source routing support from all of our hosts...

Hmm.. I guess I can test it on freefall now... :-)  If it works for
FreeBSD, I guess I could import it...  (the only problem is that I
seem to recall that it it uses 4-digit precision for RTT times, which
DG's fingernails can't handle.. :-)
