I'm going to remove the nselib-bin directory in the next few hours. At
least one change is necessary for the release, the removal of the check
for nselib-bin in the scripting engine. NSE looks for that directory and
freaks out ('nselib-bin/' not a directory) if it can't find it. This was
reported by jah in http://seclists.org/nmap-dev/2008/q3/0606.html. I
didn't notice it before because I didn't delete my
/usr/libexec/nmap/nselib-bin directory.
