Yeah I guess you are right. The script is basically my default NSE
template where the portrule function is controlled by user parameters
and the output is dumped in hex.

I think the only problem with this is that once you go into the
territory of multiple payloads the user may wish to send different
data depending on the previous results. At this point you might as
well write an NSE script :)

Hmm, this would be possible as we have PCRE support in NSE but would
it be significantly different from just editing the service probe
file?

I think for now I will just resign it to the bit bucket
