Your Own Library" or somesuch. [Patrick]
o Update nsedoc to refer to 'libraries' rather than 'modules'. This
affects the front page (which calls them 'Libraries' on left sidebar
and 'Modules' on the list of right, and affects the url (we should
change /modules/ to /lib/ and then have Fyodor add a redirect for
people still using old URLs) and the title of the module pages like

o Consider the open proxy scripts more carefully
- How should we test whether the proxy attempt was successful? Right
now we look for a google-specific Server header after trying to
reach http://www.google.com through the proxy. Maybe we should let
users specify their own pattern if they specify their own URL.

socks-open-proxy, will send to nmap-dev today (7/21) for review and
then check in a few days later]

If we're going to include the XML source files, we should include
reguide too. But rather than add that, we should probably take
these out. After all, people can easily grab them from svn or our
new http svn gateway if desired. So no need to bloat the tarball
with these files which aren't installed.
o Scanning through proxies

that we have an NSE script for detectiong open proxies and now that
