Add functionality to only list hosts specified on the command line. If none
are specified the old behaviour is old. The submitted applied a much cleaner diff to ruptime.c, however it did not cover cases like listing failures. It would probably be a good idea to move the printing from the ruptime function, and have that function just be used to build the list, as that would unbreak sorting, but this diff is intended to be clear, relative to the original code. As the sort order is the order specified on the command line, for now, such is documented in the manual page accordingly. Submitted by: Edward J. M. Blocklesby <ejb@lythe.org.uk> MFC after: 3 weeks
