check_icmp is included in the official plugin package as a drop-in 
replacement for check_ping. check_icmp -h provides the necessary help 
output.

The latest version of check_icmp (as coded by my humble self) is 
available at https://devel.op5.se/oss or http://oss.op5.se/nagios as 
check_icmp-<version>.tar.gz. Be aware that the code might change without 
version increment while I'm researching a weird network error on *bsd 
(most likely a kernel issue, but it's hard to know for sure), although 
only for fixing this particular bug. Look for the mtime as provided by 
apache to find out if it is indeed a new release or not (a fresh one 
just hatched 2 seconds ago, actually).
