The upstream source contains a hardcoded test that makes it
impossible to use file capabilities (libcap2) with traceroute,
i.e., the use of '-I' is checked against superuser accesss.
A simple removal of a single test makes the setting of "cap_net_raw"
sufficient to use this mechanism. Upstream might be moved into
providing this possibilility, enhanced by improved messages
at the time of socket creation.
Please consider the implications of this change, whether it
be applicable or desireable.
