    Mainly bug fixes, bar the spanky new
    -sO feature :]

    -- Added an extremely cool scan type by Gerhard Rieger ( rieger at
    iue.tuwien.ac.at ) -- IP Protocol scanning. Basically it sends a
    bunch of IP headers (no data) with different "protocol" fields to
    the host. The host then (usually) sends back a protocol
    unreachable for those that it does not support. By exclusion, nmap
    can make a list of those that are supported. This is similar in
    concept to (and is implemented using most of the same scanning
    routines as) UDP scanning. Note that some hosts do not send back
    protocol unreachables -- in that case all protocols will appear
    "open".

    -- Fixed an uninitialized variable problem in NmapFE (found by Alvin
    Starr (alvin at iplink.net )

    -- Fixed a packaging problem that lead to the Nmap man page being
    included twice in the .tgz .

    -- Fixed dangling nroff include in xnmap man page (noted by Debian
    Nmap package maintainer LaMont Jones (lamont@security.hp.com)

    -- Give a warning when no targets at all are specified

    -- Updated 'make uninstall' so that it deletes all relevant files

    -- Included latest nmap-rpc from Eilon Gishri (eilon at aristo.tau.ac.il)

    -- Eliminated -I. from Nmap's and NmapFE's makefiles (suggested by
    "Jay Freeman (saurik)" (saurik at saurik.com)

    -- Added Russian documentation by Alex Volkov

    -- Added Lithuanian documentation from Aurimas Mikalauskas (inner at
    dammit.lt)
