flags when making makefile.dep. Without this, making makefile.dep fails on
OpenSlaris because it can't find <pcre.h>. With HAVE_CONFIG_H it knows to look
in <pcre/pcre.h>.
install from source may have old copies of scripts with different names,
like HTTPAuth instead of http-auth, because we don't delete the contents
of the scripts directory when installing. Rather than wipe out the whole
directory, which might contain people's custom scripts, there is now a
list of old script names in Makefile.in which are selectively deleted.

to control whether translations of man pages are installed (by default
they will be). Even though we're not using gettext for translations, I
tried to make this interface as similar as possible to the gettext
configuration interface. Use can use the environment variable LINGUAS to
control which man pages get installed if you don't want all of them, for
example LINGUAS="es de". The translated man pages are not yet committed.

fails when makefile.dep is remade in the ncat directory:
In file included from ncat.h:12,
from ncat_main.c:4:
../nbase/nbase.h:128:26: error: nbase_config.h: No such file or directory
(Many similar messages follow.)
This happened because "make clean" deletes ncat/makefile.dep. Remaking
makefile.dep requires preprocessing C files that indirectly include
nbase_config.h, which was removed from nbase by distclean. Doing the
distclean in ncat before nbase sidesteps the issue.
Here is a mostly exhaustive list of the changes:
o Removes the SCRIPT_ENGINE_* status defines and replaces the
instances with regular boolean integer returns or changes the
procedure to return void. The latter case is better generally because
the caller ignores any status return (e.g. nmap.cc calling open_nse)
and/or the procedure raises a fatal error when unsuccessful.
o Moves the SCRIPT_ENGINE_LUA_DIR and the like to the nse_main.h header file.
o Removes the use of the SCRIPT_ENGINE_TRY (there was only one left)
and thus changes the call to l_dnet_open to a void function called
directly by luaopen_nsock (in nse_nsock.cc) instead of luaopen_nmap
(in nse_nmaplib.cc). I felt moving the function was also an
appropriate (but somewhat unrelated to the intent of the patch) change
as opening the dnet metatable is very related to opening up the
nsock library. This confines errors in opening the nsock library, including
opening the dnet metatable, to the call to luaopen_nsock.
o The FILES and DIRS defines are moved in to nse_fs.h where they are
more appropriate and localalized.
avoid a race condition. "make all" would make nsock and ncat, and ncat
would in turn make nsock. If the timing was right, the two simultaneous
builds would trample each other.
It may seem inefficient to have all these recursive makes calling down
the dependency tree all the time, but GNU Make at least remembers which
targets were already completed so for example only one descent into
nbase_build will be done per "make all".
definition causes GCC to add extra security checks to compiled source
code. See http://gcc.gnu.org/ml/gcc-patches/2004-09/msg02055.html.
-D_FORTIFY_SOURCE=1 adds only those checks that are not supposed to
cause any "conforming" program to fail. (Conforming to what I'm not
sure, probably one of the C standards.) -D_FORTIFY_SOURCE=2 adds extra
checks above that. Some light testing hasn't shown any obvious problems.
Windows and UNIX, and install/distro system for the source tarball, RPM, OS X
installer (thanks to David) and the Windows installer.
configure --without-ncat keeps it out on Unix
too. The section in scripting.xml about creating C modules is gone. (But maybe
it should be replaced with a tutorial on making static modules?) The only
places where nselib-bin is still referenced are in mswin32/nsis/Nmap.nsi, where
it is still removed on uninstallation; and in mswin32/nmap.vcproj, from where I
don't have the resources now to remove it.
nse_main and nse_nsock. nse_main now uses Lua to create printable output
while a cleaner hexify procedure has been placed in nsock.
nse_string is removed as a result.
