I decided that reimplementing it was the right thing for a few reasons. First, Ncat is a pure C program with no dependencies on any (C++) Nmap files. Linking with TargetGroup.o would change that. Second, I wanted support for IPv6 netmasks. Third, I had a neat idea for representing IPv4 ranges as bit vectors.
It could always be moved to nbase and shared between nmap and ncat if that turned out to be desirable. Though, as you note, perhaps the uses are different enough that it isn't worthwhile.
