before pcre was made a C module. Remove the nse_pcrelib.vcproj file,
change snprintf to Snprintf, and add a typecast to avoid a warning on
Windows. This and r6026 should be considered a unit.
care of building all prerequisites. One downside is that you can't do
"make nmap" in an clean tree any more, if anyone ever did that. You have
to do "make" once to build the prerequisites. This is how Automake does
it. I'll keep thinking about this.
to be automatically generated by the makefile; however we include a copy
to enable the Windows build to work. On Unix, the makefile was
overwriting the file with a symbolic link to
libpcre/pcre_chartables.c.dist, which was causing revision-control
headaches. Now that file is copied instead of linked to, so its contents
don't change.
It is safe to use a static copy of the file instead of an auto-generated
one because Nmap has never used the auto-generation feature. You need to
use a special flag --enable-rebuild-chartables to get that. So copying
the file has the same behavior as creating a link. Furthermore, it's not
desirable to generate that file (using dftables, an auxiliary program
that uses the current locale) because we don't want our regular
expressions to be locale-dependent.
pcre_chartables.c was also removed from CLEANFILES so it's not deleted
by "make clean" or "make distclean". pcre.h is still deleted by "make
distclean" because it's included in AC_CONFIG_FILES. That's not as big a
deal.
enough for host discovery, and 100 doesn't give much benefit because the probe
timeouts increase to slow the scan down. While it's faster in some cases, it
also increases the variance in scan times. For more analysis see

scales per-host congestion control increments in the same way those for the
group already are. This speeds scanning in some cases (particularly with few
hosts, when the group congestion control is not the limiting factor). I'm going
to experiment with raising the increment cap to allow this to have more of an
effect.
Scale host congestion control variables similarly to the way group congestion
control is scaled. For the rationale see
http://www.bamsoftware.com/wiki/Nmap/PerformanceGraphs#host-scaled.
Host cc_scale should use (numprobes_sent + numpings_sent), not (numprobes_sent + numprobes_sent).
