proposal. This only affects Nmap's root directory. We might also need to
modify the code which autogenerates Nmap's source code files such as IPv6
fingerprinting code.

Move some includes out of nmap.h: nmap.h gets included lots of places,
and unconditionally included math.h, ctype.h, errno.h, stdio.h,
sys/stat.h, fcntl.h, sys/types.h, and stdarg.h. This commit moves those
includes into the .cc files where they are necessary and out of nmap.h
Remove redundant include global_structures.h, included from nmap.h
Removed redundant code included from nmap.h
Removing #include nbase.h when nmap.h is included (redundant)
Remove duplicate #include lines
Add ifndef guards to a few .h files
for file in `grep "* including the terms and conditions of this license text as well. \*" * -r --files-with-match `; do sed "s/\* including the terms and conditions of this license text as well. \*/* including the terms and conditions of this license text as well. */g" -i $file; done
Setting --min-parallelism without also setting --max-parallelism would
force the max parallelism to the same value. So, for example,
--min-parallelism=1 would also limit the max parallelism to 1. This
patch, based on one by Chris Woodbury, allows the max parallelism to
rise above this minimum, up to the maximum defined by each scan phase.

This is the IPv6 OS detection branch. "nmap -6 -O" works now, though at
this point it only prints fingerprints and not OS guesses, because we
need to collect more submissions.
Nmap delays parsing for options that require knowledge of other options that
the user might have supplied in order to make informed decisions. This is
achieved by using a temporary storage place in which options that can't be
correctly parsed and interpreted without having full knowledge of all other
user supplied command line arguments like -S and -6.
returning floating-point seconds. Everywhere o.TimeSinceStartMS was
called, the return value was being divided by 1000.0, which had the same
effect but would overflow when the difference exceeded about 25 days
(2^31 milliseconds). This patch is by Daniel Miller.
was to hide command line arguments from the process list. It had
been broken (would segfault during the second scan) since before May
2009 until February 2010 and was rarely used. The fact that it was
broken was reported by Juan Carlos Castro y Castro.

This establishes a more regular syntax for some options that disable
phases of a scan:
-n no reverse DNS
-Pn no host discovery
-sn no port scan
Also, the -sP was possibly misleading because the 'P' suggests "ping
scan," when you can now do more than just pinging when you disable port
scanning. For example, -sC -sn and -sn -Pn --traceroute make sense.
