Thanks for the reports, Pogue and Liam.  It is unfortunate that
Secunia is flagging anyone who uses this DLL for a vulnerability in
some Pythone "Web Form" functionality which of course we don't use.
That being said, I think we should make upgrading a priority so as not
to scare users.  I'm adding a note to the Nmap TODO.  I probably just
have to install the latest version of Python on my build machine.

Cheers,
