Neat.  I didn't realize svn export could be used that way.  Still, I
think using svn export in this case is overkill.

I think we can do the simple thing and take advantage of the fact that
there are no subdirectories.  If we ever add subdirectories, we can
deal with it then.  Just copying scripts/script.db and scripts/*.nse
should do the trick.  Specifying them this way may prevent other crap
(emacs backup files, etc.) from being copied over too.
