Here is a quick little patch that exposes the nmap timing option to NSE scripts. A call to nmap.timing() will return a value of 0 - 5 corresponding to the nmap command line option -T0 through -T5 ("Paranoid", "Sneaky", "Polite", "Normal", "Aggressive", "Insane"). Patch tested on Windows XP and Linux. My thought in adding this is that scripts may want to adjust socket timeout values (or other timing variables) based on the timing profile selected by the user. For example, a user that sets -T2 may be willing to wait 20 or 30 seconds for a socket connect call to timeout, but a user that sets -T5 probably wants to get things done a little quicker. As always, questions or comments are welcome.
I think that's a great idea!
