RE: [NSE] SSL Fingerprint Matching

Doh, you're totally right! NSIS's LZMA compression and the compressed Nmap
source code downloads wouldn't change the size of the resulting file no
matter whether the blacklist was stored compressed or uncompressed. It's
still significantly larger relative to the existing Nmap downloads.

Disk space is cheap, so we should not worry about disk space, right?.
Nmap releases are compressed, so having a compressed file in there does not
make it smaller. I am not sure if compressing the file would help.
