And for what it's worth, ftp-anon.nse can probably be deleted (the 
functionality is replicated 100% in ftp-brute.nse now). Any objections?

Well, ftp-anon is one of our default scripts.  Checking whether a
discovered FTP server allows anonymous access is (arguably) OK by
default, but a brute force password guessing attack is not.  So it may
be best to leave them separate, but factor out any common code into a
library.
