[PATCH] Allow comments in exclusion file

[Tom Sellers <nmap () fadedcode net>]

Hello all,

        The attached patch modifies targets.cc so that comments will be allowed
in the files specified by the --exculsionfile parameter.

If the patch is accepted the following comment styles would be permitted:

1.  Lines beginning with a '#', for example:

        #This IP address is for the server with the broken app,
        #input validation is your friend...


2.  Comments prefixed with '#' that occur after the IP address or network specification.
    For example:

        196.168.1.1     #home router with limited space on the firewall state table

This functionality will make keeping track of an ongoing and/or lengthy exclusion
list feasible.


This patch should probably be carefully reviewed by someone with more coding experience
that I.

Thanks,

Tom
