Thanks for the information.  As for coding skills, none are required.
All that you need to change is sitting in the nmap-service-probes
file.  You won't even need to change any of the PCRE
m|whatever| expressions, just the o/whatever/ expressions.

Also, I did a grep through some of my scans for IIS info, I noticed
that we need to canonicalize some names:

Microsoft IIS httpd 5.1
Microsoft IIS httpd 6.0
Microsoft IIS webserver 5.1
Microsoft IIS webserver 7.0
Microsoft IIS httpd
Microsoft IIS webserver 5.0
Microsoft IIS webserver 6.0

I haven't looked at the probes file but I think "webserver" needs to be
changed to "httpd".

I also noticed while looking at the Apache matches that the version
information stuffed into i// includes superfluous ().  That is,
anything in i// already appears in parenthesis.  I don't think any of
these should include the (...) inside of i//:

...snip...
Apache httpd 1.3.34 (Ben-SSL/1.55 (Debian))
Apache httpd 1.3.34 (Ben-SSL/1.55 (Ubuntu))
Apache httpd 1.3.36 ((Unix))
Apache httpd 1.3.37 ((Unix))
Apache httpd 1.3.39 ((Unix))
Apache httpd 1.3.4 ((Unix))
Apache httpd 1.3.41 ((Darwin))
Apache httpd 1.3.41 ((Unix))
Apache httpd 1.3.9 ((Unix))
Apache httpd 2.0.39 ((Unix))
Apache httpd 2.0.40 ((Red Hat Linux))
Apache httpd 2.0.40 ((Win32))
Apache httpd 2.0.46 ((Red Hat))
Apache httpd 2.0.46 ((Scientific Linux))
...snip...

It should actually be just a few Apache httpd match lines that need to
be changed  -- I suspect we are using some rather generic regexes to do
the matching.
