[NSE Script] Banner Grabber

Hey everyone!

I attached a very simple NSE script I wrote a little earlier (I just
really started trying out NSE). It justs grabs banners from open ports
(timeouts after 3 seconds).

I made a banner grabber in C a looong time ago to learn, and of course
then and now a lot of banners give away version numbers and OS info. I
know it's really simple (and some of you have probably written one
allready), but I was just thinking about if this script would be good to
ship along with Nmap, as it can be like an extremely lightweight version
and OS detector :)

Well, please let me know what you think, but be gentle :)

Thanks,
Kris Katterjohn
