Add the beginning of a manual page for Zenmap. This includes

description, options summary, environment variables, bugs, history, and
authors sections. It doesn't have how-to sections, which I would like to
have next.

This is my first foray into DocBook. I'm using version 4.5 of the DTD. I
had to hard-code that number into the document type declaration to get
it to build.

The command lines I'm using to build are
xsltproc --xinclude --output zenmap.1 /usr/share/sgml/docbook/xsl-stylesheets/manpages/docbook.xsl zenmap.xml
xsltproc --xinclude --output zenmap.html /usr/share/sgml/docbook/xsl-stylesheets/html/docbook.xsl zenmap.xml

<para>Zenmap is a multi-platform graphical Nmap frontend and results viewer.
Zenmap aims to make Nmap easy for beginners to use while giving experienced
Nmap users advanced features. Frequently used scans can be saved as profiles
to make them easy to run repeatedly. A command creator allows interactive
creation of Nmap command lines. Scan results can be saved and viewed later.
Saved scan results can be compared with one another to see how they differ.
The results of recent scans are stored in a searchable database.</para>

<listitem>
<para>Open the given results file for viewing. The results file may be
an Nmap XML output file (.xml, as produced by <command>nmap
-oX</command>) or a Umit scan results file (.usr). This option may be
given more than once.</para>

<listitem>
<para>Run the given Nmap command within the Zenmap interface. After
<option>-n</option> or <option>--nmap</option>, every remaining
command line argument is read as the command line to execute. This
means that <option>-n</option> or <option>--nmap</option> must be
given last, after any other options. Note that the command line must
include the <command>nmap</command> executable name: <command>zenmap
-n nmap -sS target</command>.</para>

specified target.</para>

<para>Increase verbosity (of Zenmap, not Nmap). This option may be
given multiple times to get even more vebosity. Beware that verbose
output is not shown on a terminal unless the environment variable
<varname>ZENMAP_DEVELOPMENT</varname> is defined and true.</para>

<listitem>
<para>Set <varname>ZENMAP_DEVELOPMENT</varname> to 1 to enable
development mode. This causes debugging output to be printed to a

<title>Bugs</title>
<para>Like their authors, Nmap and Zenmap aren&rsquo;t perfect. But you can
help make them better by sending bug reports or even writing patches. If
Nmap or Zenmap doesn&rsquo;t behave the way you expect, first upgrade to the
latest version available from <ulink url="http://insecure.org/nmap/"/>. If
the problem persists, do some research to determine whether it has already
been discovered and addressed. Try Googling the error message or browsing
the nmap-dev archives at <ulink url="http://seclists.org/" />. Read this
full manual page as well. If nothing comes of this, mail a bug report to
<email>nmap-dev@insecure.org</email>. Please include everything you have
learned about the problem, as well as what version of Zenmap you are running
and what operating system version it is running on. Problem reports and
Zenmap usage questions sent to nmap-dev@insecure.org are far more likely to
be answered than those sent to Fyodor directly.</para>
<para>Code patches to fix bugs are even better than bug reports. Basic
instructions for creating patch files with your changes are available at
<ulink url="http://insecure.org/nmap/data/HACKING" />. Patches may be sent
to nmap-dev (recommended) or to Fyodor directly.</para>

<title>History</title>
<para>Zenmap was originally derived from Umit, an Nmap GUI created by
Adriano Monteiro Marques. Umit began as a project for the Google Summer of
Code in 2005. Zenmap became an independent project in October 2007.</para>
