script udate broken
From: Gisle Vanem <giva () bgnett no>
Date: Wed, 27 Dec 2006 16:51:05 +0100

This command:
  nmap.exe -sC --script-trace --script-updatedb

yields:
Starting Nmap 4.21ALPHA2 ( http://insecure.org ) at 2006-12-27 14:42 GMT
SCRIPT ENGINE: Couldn't find 'scripts\'
.
SCRIPT ENGINE: Aborting database update.

Nmap finished: 0 IP addresses (0 hosts up) scanned in 0.078 seconds

I ran nmap.exe from it's source dir (where nmap.exe) is located. I
also noted there is no 'scripts.db'. Is that so. If so, the error message
is misleading since I do have a 'scripts' sub-dir.

BTW. Setting or unsetting NMAPDIR had no effect.
