Installation of the nselib/data directory

[David Fifield <david () bamsoftware com>]

Brandon and I discovered today that the nselib/data directory is not
installed when you run "make install". Any scripts that needed any of
these data files

favicon-db   http-fingerprints  usernames.lst
folders.lst  passwords.lst      yokoso-fingerprints

wouldn't work after being installed if you were not running from inside
a working directory. This installation seems to have been broken for a
long time, so I guess lots of people run from a working directory.

Now those scripts should work:

$ nmap --script=http-favicon -p 80 www.blogger.com

Starting Nmap 5.05BETA1 ( http://nmap.org ) at 2009-08-31 17:36 MDT
