I've just tested, and -sV alone appears to work like it used to without
NSE.  I have to add -sC (or use -A) in order to get additional info via
the scripts.  This is just right, but then I am puzzled why -sV alone
requires open_nse() to work when Nmap is built with NSE support, but it
works just fine (producing the same output for me) when Nmap is built
without NSE support.  Is this another thing for us to patch such that
-sV alone would not require open_nse()?

Perhaps I am missing something.  I must admit that I've hardly read any
documentation on NSE, nor did I read much of the "new" code.
