* Make improvements to the irc-unrealircd-backdoor script.
* Brandon says: "Sometime -sV goes just a little too fast and gets a connect
  error.  It should back off and try again a few times before giving up trying
  to fingerprint the service." It looks like
    Got nsock CONNECT response with status ERROR - aborting this service
  Add a delay of 500 ms?
Summer of coder:
* Add a library function to test the randomness of a string. Use it to make
  version scripts for services that send random or encrypted data, for example
  cccam on port 12000 which sends 16 bytes.

Zenmap:
* Do a memory audit of loading a large scan file.
* Figure out what licensing notices are required in the Mac package for GTK+,
  Glib, Python, and anything else we use.
Summer of Coder:
* Merge a scan aggregation into one XML file.
* Synthesize text Nmap output from an XML file.

Ncat:
* Make Ncat send one line at a time when --delay is in effect. This is
  cumbersome to do until Nsock supports buffered reading.
* Make the HTTP proxy support the chunked transfer encoding, then change it to
  be HTTP/1.1 and support pipelining.
* See if we can make Ncat drop privileges on startup.

Nsock:
* Add a buffer to each iod, so that you can ask for a certain number of bytes
  or lines and get exactly that many, no more. Venkat wrote a proposal at
  http://seclists.org/nmap-dev/2009/q3/0600.html.

Web site:
* Look for a good online respository viewer.

Done:
* Handle multiple targets with the same address.
* Check necessity of mswin32 pcap includes.
* Try removing the call to PacketSetReadTimeout in readip_pcap, so that Windows
  uses the short 2 ms timeout like some other platforms without selectable pcap
  fds do. Measure difference in time and CPU time.
* Do JavaScript magic to expand/contract NSEDoc sidebar.
* Check out compression options for the NSIS installer.
