Hi Alan.  Thanks for the report.  It turns out that the NSIS "File"
directive has an annoying (but at least documented) side effect when
you specify /r option.  I have tested and checked in a fix to Nmap.nsi
which should resolve this for the next release.

I have also checked in a fix for this.

I guess discovery is a good category for it, since that is not done by
default.  I just didn't want to make it a default script this close to
the stable release.  I've updated the CHANGELOG.

We really need to revisit the NSE category names (though any major
changes would be after the stable release).

Script <directory> sounds like a good idea.  I think we should make a
convenience option for this as well (e.g. -sC all).
