Hi Eddie.  I just applied your "verbose distance fix" to SVN.  But
regarding localhost traceroute, we may not need platform-specific
code.  There is probably no reason to send any packets when we know
that the host is localhost.  We should probably just treat it as 0
hops away and make sure the output can deal with that in a reasonable
way.  What do you think?

Cheers,
