RE: Thoughts on script documentation

["Rob Nicholls" <robert () robnicholls co uk>]

I tried it on XP and I have a couple of notes:

Zenmap immediately crashes on XP. It looks like your build also included the
extraneous DLLs that I encountered, so I'll commit the "dll excludes" patch
in a minute as it seemed to fix it with my builds.

The Makefile appears to accidentally copy the .svn sub-directory when
copying the new licenses directory. I've been maintaining my own batch file
version of the Makefile, to avoid installing Cygwin on additional hosts,
which is why I hadn't spotted it sooner, but I can try to come up with a
patch if no one else does it (I presume I can base it on the code for
nselib). This is a pretty minor thing though.

Hopefully the new 5.36TEST1 release will help people catch any major
problems, and smooth the way for the upcoming "official dev release".

I build the 5.36TEST1 Windows binaries with MSVC++ 2010 Express and the
latest GTK and Python 2.7 stuff as described in
docs/win32-installer-zenmap-buildguide.txt.  It seems to run fine on the
Windows 7 system that I built it on, but I'm certainly hoping people will
try it out on other systems and report the results.

Cheers,
Fyodor
