Is now a good time to (finally) officially drop support for Windows 2000,
and try to update all of the Nmap documentation?

I think so.  We do need to be conservative about dropping support for
older platforms because they tend to hang around for many years.  But
given that Microsoft has completely abandoned Windows 2000 (they don't
even provide security updates any more), I think we can too.  Win2K
users can continue to use Nmap 5.21 if they can't upgrade OS.

If anyone here actually needs to run new versions of Nmap on Windows
2K machines, now is the time to speak up.
