Check_ping needs to pass the -t flag to ping otherwise icinga/nagios doesn't
get the correct feed back in a packet loss situation.

It's easy to do, just make this change to the Makefile:

diff --git a/Makefile.orig b/Makefile

I've also submitted this as a bug to the monitoring-plugins github, as it would
be good for them to auto configure properly.
