Updated to version 3.28.

Changes:

- Fixed (i hope) an issue that would cause Nmap to print "Serious time
  computation problem in adjust_timeout ..." and quit.  The ultimate
  cause was demonstrated by this --packet_trace snippet that Russel
  Miller (rmiller(a)duskglow.com) sent me:
  SENT (0.0500s) ICMP 0.0.0.0 > 127.0.0.1 Echo request (type=8/code=0) ...
  RCVD (0.0450s) ICMP 127.0.0.1 > 127.0.0.1 Echo reply (type=0/code=0) ...
  As you can see, the ping reply appears to come BEFORE the request
  was sent(!).  This sort of thing happens on at least Linux and
  Windows.  The send time is obtained from gettimeofday(NULL), while
  receive time libpcap packet header.

- For years, Nmap has added -I/usr/local/include and -L/usr/local/lib
  to the compiler line to grab local libraries.  I have removed this
  behavior by default, and added a '--with_localdirs' configure option
  that adds it back.  If Nmap fails to compile now without the above
  option, please let me know.  I can change the default back if this
  change causes more problems than it solves.  People (such as certain
  ports tree packagers) who know they don't want /usr/local should
  specify --without_localdirs rather than relying on that always being
  the default.

- Fixed (I hope) a problem that led to the error message "Assertion
  `tqi->sockets[probe_port_num][seq] == -1' failed".

- Fixed a problem that would cause Nmap on Windows to send ICMP ping
  packets from 0.0.0.0 instead of the appropriate source IP.  Thanks
  to Yeti (boxed(a)blueyonder.co.uk) for the report.

- Applied some changes from Solar Designer (solar(a)openwall.com)
  which fix some typos and also suggest safer /tmp/ behavior in the
  HACKING file and Lithuanian man page.  These changes are for the
  Nmap package of his Openwall GNU/*/Linux (Owl) distribution.

- For Solaris, I now define NET_SIZE_T to size_t rather than socklen_t
  in nmap.h.  Isn't that exciting?!!!  Hopefully this will help
  compilation on Solaris 2.6 (and perhaps earlier).  If any Solaris
  users notice new compilation problems, please let me know.  Thanks to
  Al Smith (Al.Smith(a)aeschi.ch.eu.org) for reporting the issue.

- Removed an errant getopt() prototype in nbase/getopt.h which should
  hopefully improve compilation on certain Solaris boxes and BSD
  variants.

- SCO operating systems are no longer supported due to their recent
  (and absurd) attacks against Linux and IBM.  Bug reports relating to
  UnixWare will be ignored, or possibly even laughed at derisively.
  Note that I have no reason to believe anyone has ever used Nmap on
  SCO systems.  Unixware sucks.

- Fixed a problem with small --max_parallism values when non-root ping
  scanning that would cause Nmap to say "sendconnecttcpquery: Could
  not scavenge a free socket!" and quit.  Problem was reported by
  Justin A (justin(a)bouncybouncy.net) as Debian Bug #195463.

- Changed many single-quotes (') into double quotes (") in the man
  page due to a disagreement over whether to represent them as (') or
  (\') in nroff.

- Included --packet_trace support for Explicit Congestion Notification
  (rfc 2481/3168) flags thanks to a patch sent in by Maik Pfeil
  (root(a)bundesspionageministerium.de)

- Included --packet_trace support for a few (unusual) ICMP types in
  case Nmap receives them.  The patch was also sent by Maik Pfeil.

- Fixed a problem with redirecting XML/Grep/Machine output to stdout
  on Windows (e.g. -oX - ).  Problem was reported by Wei Jiang
  (Wei.Jiang(a)bindview.com)

- Made "-g -Wall" compiler flags dependent on availability of gcc/g++
  sine some other compilers do not support them.
