nmap 3.48 Statistics Patch

Background:
The scan can go on for a while if you are scanning firewalled hosts.
There are nmap switches to increase ports per second, but how much?

nmap 3.48 statistics patch:
I have added a switch that prints two lines of statistics.
The new -c switch guesses how long time the scan will take.
Output example:
Starting nmap V. 3.48 ( http://www.insecure.org/nmap/ )
Tried: 192 (150 resends)
P/S: 12.00 ETS: 9

The -c switch shows how many ports that has been tested, resends,
ports per second and the estimated remaining time of scan.

Patch with:
tar -xvjf nmap-3.48.tar.bz2
cd nmap-3.48
patch -p1 < PATH_TO/nmap-3.48_statistics_patch.diff

nmap-3.48_statistics_patch.diff is a nmap hack. It is not an official
nmap patch. Feel free to forward it if you like it.
