Thanks for this patch. Here's what its output looks like for me:

Nmap version 5.51SVN ( http://nmap.org )
Platform : i686-pc-linux-gnu
Lua - compiled
OpenSSL -compiled

There are some issues with whitespace but other than that I think this
matches what we need. The question is the output format. Vim has a
similar feature; the output of "vim --version" looks like:

VIM - Vi IMproved 7.1 (2007 May 12, compiled Oct 18 2008 09:05:15)
Included patches: 1-314
Compiled by buildd () excelsior roeckx be
Huge version without GUI.  Features included (+) or not (-):
+arabic +autocmd -balloon_eval -browse ++builtin_terms +byte_offset +cindent
-clientserver -clipboard +cmdline_compl +cmdline_hist +cmdline_info +comments
+cryptv +cscope +cursorshape +dialog_con +diff +digraphs -dnd -ebcdic

Does anyone have comments on how this should look or what other
information should be included?
