RE: nselib-bin

["Rob Nicholls" <robert () everythingeverything co uk>]

The attached patch removes the nse_bitlib project (removed using Visual C++
2008 Express Edition). When combined with the other patch I just emailed to
the list, Nmap appears to compile okay and I ran a quick scan using -A and
nothing looked broken (I tested it on my Windows 2000 Server VM too). David
appears to have already updated Nmap.nsi to remove references to the
nselib-bin folder (aside from uninstallation).

There are a few other things in the NSIS files that I'd like to finish
writing (if I have time) to make the installation experience better (e.g.
getting our version of WinPcap to install itself as a service using Win32
API calls on Windows 2000 [which I've done, but I've not managed to
gracefully stop and remove it yet], only installing the VC++ runtimes if
they're not already installed, and warning the user when the silent
installation of the VC++ runtimes failed), but as it stands it should be
okay.
