I've passed the day reading nse_main.lua and I think that the decision
to run a script should only done by rules, the engine will only load the
selected scripts. Think of a case when we could have another Nmap option
like the version exclude directive, adding these checks to the engine
seems not to be the best solution since there are rules.
