getting erl_interface C program to reply to net_adm:ping/1

[Peter-Henry Mander]

I suspected that much. I initially wanted to fix the ping problem, since 
that made the "pinger" node hang indefinitely when the "pingee" node was 
a C-node which received the ping without replying. That's fixed now, 
thanks for the help everyone.

Would there be any use in me uploading the C code to show as an example?
