netselect -- Choose the fastest server automatically<hr>

This is netselect, an ultrafast intelligent parallelizing binary-search
implementation of "ping."  You give it a (possibly very long) list of
servers, and it chooses the fastest/closest one automatically.  It's good
for finding the fastest ftp.debian.org mirror, the least laggy IRC server,
or the best Squid neighbour.
