Adjust a TODO item: Zenmap highlighting of host names works fine, the problem

is that the highlight settings are not updated when Zenmap is upgraded. They
are stored in zenmap.conf, a per-user configuration file that is installed once
and not upgraded thereafter. Once someone has installed an old version of
Zenmap with broken highlighting, upgrading won't fix it unless they remove
their zenmap.conf.

TODO $Id: TODO 11866 2009-01-24 23:10:05Z fyodor $ -*-text-*-
o Even Zenmap 4.85BETA1 still linkifies various times and other
non-hostname strings. For example, (linkified parts are in *'s):
Nmap done: 1 IP address (1 host up) scanned in **27.02** seconds
Raw packets sent: 2071 (**94.448KB**) | Rcvd: 63 (3576B)
Completed SYN Stealth Scan at 19:42, **24.47s** elapsed (4000 total ports)
ompleted SYN Stealth Scan against 64.13.134.49 in **21.48s** (1 host left)
Uptime guess: **33.982** days (since Fri Dec 26 22:13:28 2008)
o Make Zenmap settings get upgraded when the Zenmap executable is
upgraded. The per-user configuration files such as scan_profile.usp
and zenmap.conf are never overwritten once installed by Zenmap, so
changes and fixes to those files don't reach anyone who has
installed Zenmap already. This is most noticeable with changes to
profiles and highlight definitions are notably affected. This fix
may involve hard-coding settings that are not normally configured by
users (like highlighting) or updating the per-user files at startup
(only those parts that haven't been changed by the user).
o If it wouldn't bloat things too much, it would be nice to include
ndiff in the Nmap win32 zip distribution files.
