Recall we all ready have the separate arg "newtargets" for scripts adding
targets to Nmap's scanning queue.  Maybe for consistency we could add a
"broadcast" arg to allow scripts like this to run?  I don't remember this
being brought up before, but I could have missed it.

Otherwise, only running them when called by name sounds like a good enough
alternative.
