Thanks for your replies.  I'll probably start invesigating with
Roger's suggestion.  Scapy would definitely be able to do the job, but
it's a little too much if all I want is to ping the host.
Furthermore, to even get it to run on an OS such as Windows, you have
to install a number of additional packages (refer to
http://trac.secdev.org/scapy/wiki/WindowsInstallationGuide) which will
make deployment in an OS/platform neutral way more difficult.
