Announce: nmap-3.30+V-2.35 ("Version" Scanning) [Win32 Build & Binary]

["Jay Freeman \(saurik\)" <saurik () saurik com>]

Changelog:

o Added a few missing configuration options to nbase\nbase_winconfig.h:

  #define HAVE_STRING_H 1
  #define STDC_HEADERS 1
  #define HAVE_SOCKADDR_STORAGE 1

o Removed my cute extra debugging stuff, as apparently nmap's concept
  of "portable" is "let's #define our troubles away". Looking at
  mswin32/winclude.h we see such wonderful gems as:

  #undef errno
  #define errno WSAGetLastError()

  #define close my_close
  #define read(x,y,z) recv(x,(char*)(y),z,0)
  int my_close(int sd);

  Why is this a problem? Well, let's say you have a function called
  read(), such as the one found on std::istream. Well, too bad! You
  can't use it anymore, because that got #define'd to something weird.
  Worse, you can't even declare it. Also, anything that uses errno
  gets all screwed up. Nmap should just provide an abstraction layer
  for this; or, better yet, use someone else's (although considering
  the esoteric-ness of using pcap with the sockets, I doubt existing
  abstraction layers such as APR will be that useful).

  Conclusion? I apparently don't get to use STL much unless I ditch
  Win32 support for now (or try to get all my #include's in just the
  right order so as to not hit a problem with a #define... but that's
  just scary). I'll probably put some time into just trying to fix
  this problem as I really want to be using Win32 to do all of my
  work on this project from now on.
