o [NSE] Look at new DB2 script by Tom
Sellers. http://seclists.org/nmap-dev/2009/q4/659
o Deal with AV false positive issue RE nmap_services.exe:
- For now, David is going to apply Ron's patch which removes this,
but David will make it print output in verbose mode rather than
debug and maybe make it a little less verbose. LT plan is for Ron
to encrypt it with OpenSSL.

o Make the nmap.header.tmpl wording a little more generic so it more
clearly applies to Ncat, Zenmap, Nping, etc. Then use
templatereplace.pl to apply those changes to the code. [Fyodor]

o Web site HTML improvements
- Maybe start with nmap.org.
- Find and fix HTML validation problems, bad links. I'm not sure
what tool is best for this.
- Update to use CSS, at least for header bars
- Also, if it is easy to give the header bars rounded corners,
we should probably do so. But if it is hard, it isn't
important enough to matter.
- The Nmap.Org navigation table should have a background and more
subtle lines, like we use for our calendars now.
- Insecure.Org could use a bit of work. On the front page:
- The first item (table) in featured news has slightly more
left/right margin than the later ones on Firefox 3.5.6, and with
IE8 it doesn't extend as far when you make the page really wide.
Plus the images on the right are problematic (extend through the
border below them) when you make the window too wide on IE8.
Having a slight margin on the left/right of entries would
actually be a bit nice. And it would be nice if it only took a
simple tag or two, controlled by CSS rather than pasting in a
whole table with font tags and the like for each entry.
- Then do the same with seclists.org, insecure.org, sectools.org
- The icon on the top-left of the screen should be for (and link
to) the root URL of current site. e.g. seclists.org,
