So, maybe we can add some advises to the default output (or a verbosity
level X), something like
| ftp-anon: Anonymous FTP login allowed (FTP code 230)
|_[Tip of the Day] You could have a directory listing with
- --script-args dirlist=6

This could help spread the word about scripts args.
I don't attach a patch about this right now because I don't want to
flood with too many script proposals, however as it's pretty easy to add
feel free to let me know.

I'm going to a 3 days trip boat/playa but I'll fix whatever you prefer asap.

Have a nice day,

A.G.
