Cool.  This script is a prime candidate for replacing my nbstat.nse
script.  It would be nice to get all of the NetBIOS and SMB functions all
in one place (a library?) so that scripts like this or mine are as simple
and calling functions to generate the packet, send, and parse it.

Both Nessus and Metasploit have libraries like this that make writing
arbitrary Windows scripts much easier.

Thoughts?
