Let resolveall.nse run against named targets

 # Nmap Changelog ($Id$); -*-text-*-
 
+o [NSE] Enabled resolveall to run against any target provided as a hostname, so
+  the resolveall.hosts script-arg is no longer required. [Daniel Miller]
+
 o [NSE] Updated fingerprints for script http-default-accounts with 18 new
   fingerprints. 4 fingerprints have been broadened to cover more variants.

 description = [[
 Resolves hostnames and adds every address (IPv4 or IPv6, depending on
 Nmap mode) to Nmap's target list.  This differs from Nmap's normal
 host resolution process, which only scans the first address (A or AAAA
 record) returned for each host name.
+
+The script will run on any target provided by hostname. It can also be fed
+hostnames via the <code>resolveall.hosts</code> argument. Because it adds new
+targets by IP address it will not run recursively, since those new targets were
+not provided by hostname. It will also not add the same IP that was initially
+chosen for scanning by Nmap.
