A combined TCP and ICP to ICMP mapping proxy in Python.

pyproxy is a combined TCP and ICP to ICMP mapping proxy implemented in
Python. The TCP proxy is a basic TCP forwarding proxy. The ICP to ICMP
mapping proxy converts incoming ICP queries to ICMP pings, returning ICP
MISS responses when the ping returns. pyproxy is designed primarily to
allow squid to use ICP load balancing to upstream proxies that don't
allow or support ICP or UDP echo.

This has already been announced on Freshmeat. This uses updated parts of
Jeremy Hylton's "ping and traceroute for Python". It is also a useful
example application of Python's asyncore module.
