** Short description from [1] **
I have created a patch to NSE that replaces runlevels with a table of
dependencies that clearly outlines what other scripts the script
depends on. The table is of the form:
dependences = {"script1", script2", ...}
Runlevels become an internal representation of the order of scripts
that are generated by the dependencies. Dependencies only enforce
an execution order and not a requirement for execution.

1) I wrote a function that formats output from scripts in a consistent way. Although we haven't really come to a concensus on how it should look yet, it's easy to change when we do.
2) New script: smb-enum-groups.nse. Enumerate the local groups on a system and their membership.
* Updated the way authentication works on smb -- it's significantly cleaner now
* smb-enum-shares.nse gives significantly better output now (it checks if shares are writable)
* Added a script that checks if smbv2 is enabled on a server
* Added smb-psexec, a script for executing commands on a remote Windows server. I also included some default scripts, a compiled .exe to run everything, and a ton of documentation (in the form of NSEDoc)
* Added 'override' parameters to some of the functions in smb.lua, which lets the programmer override any field in an outgoing SMB packet without modifying smb.lua.
* Lots of random code cleanups in the smb-* scripts/libraries
duplicating it in every script. This may not be the way we keep doing it, but
it's needed for now to keep from having excessive duplication in the printed
output.
line, not "\n\n", in the SMB and MSRPC scripts and modules. There are newer
versions of these files pending review, so this is just a quick measure to let
me use first paragraphs as summaries rather than first sentences.
I made every script follow a standard form: it starts with the id, followed by
the description. The description is contained in [[ ]] delimiters. The
description is in the global description variable, not in a LuaDoc comment.
Other LuaDoc information such as @args and @usage follows the description in a
comment.
The first paragraph of each description is a a short summary of what the script
does. More detailed information, if any, is given in following paragraphs.
I also improved some wording and formatting in a few cases.
smb-enumshares.nse, and smb-enumusers.nse. Also enhance the netbios.lua and
smb.lua modules. Remove the smb-enum.nse script. All these changes are from Ron
Bowes.
