Visual C++ 2008 runtime components if they aren't already installed
on a system. These are some reasonably small DLLs that are
generally necessary for applications compiled with Visual C++ (with
dynamic linking). Many or most systems already have these installed
from other software packages. The lack of these components led to
the error message "The Application failed to intialize properly
(0xc0150002)." with Nmap 4.65. A related change is that Nmap on
Windows is now compiled with /MD rather than /MT so that it
consistently uses these runtime libraries. The patch was created by
Rob Nicholls.
Ensuring the safety of assert() calls by keeping NDEBUG undefined throughout
Nmap, Nbase and Nsock.
I've tested this on Linux and Windows XP without problems. On Windows I've
removed the definitions of _DEBUG and NDEBUG from the *.vcproj files.
