Since this was of course a reasonable request and nobody has come forth yet,
I'll remove the option from Ncat (probably) tomorrow assuming nothing changes.

Also, since you weren't explicit either way, may I suggest keeping the Nsock
functionality there so that Ncat or any other Nsock-utilizing program to come
about can use it if desired?  Or should it go too until the need arises?
