issue: libipsec is referenced from in sbin/ping. how should we

use of distrib/utils/x_ping looks to be the way to go.
it seems that the following ramdiskbin.conf needs a change:
- remove -lipsec from "libs" line
- add "special" line for utils/x_ping
could you please handle these (or can I do it without testing)?
it should help decreasing size of boot floppy image.
