Nmap Development: Re: Small patch to add "add port" output from -v -v -v to XML format

["Max Schubert" <nmap () webwizarddesign com>]

Fyodor,

    Thanks for the explanation .. I wasn't aware that people have done shared
    library builds already ... your reasoning makes sense.  The XML interface
    is a more loosely-coupled interface between nmap and whatever external
    program is used to parse it .. and that is certainly the way to go when
    internals/features are changing rapidly :).

Regards,
Max
