We added a sctp.h file to the source to let nmap build (otherwise nmap 
cannot find a few structs)

The packets are being sent but I see no output (I am behind nat).
A little problem which arise is that man pages are not compatible with 
our man(1), maybe because of something similar to that: 
(http://seclists.org/nmap-dev/2009/q3/0249.html).
We start patching man pages but the result is a huge diff.
When we will have a final version of the diff we will submit the 
"effort" to the nmap's mailing list.
