 Currently inetutils has ping which is installed as `gping`. Another port,
 `gping` (https://ports.macports.org/port/gping/ ;
 https://github.com/orf/gping) also uses `gping` and thus conflicts with
 inetutils.

 It seems that perhaps gping should be renamed to something else like
 `graphping` or some other name so as to allow both to coexist. There are a
 lot of other ways of doing this, but I'm not sure what may be preferred
 here in this scenario.
