Setting a servo same value as a 3 pin ping sensor reading

/* Ping))) Sensor
 This sketch reads a PING))) ultrasonic rangefinder and returns the
 distance to the closest object in range. To do this, it sends a pulse
 to the sensor to initiate a reading, then listens for a pulse
 to return. The length of the returning pulse is proportional to
 the distance of the object from the sensor.

 The circuit:
 * +V connection of the PING))) attached to +5V
 * GND connection of the PING))) attached to ground
 * SIG connection of the PING))) attached to digital pin 2
