Hi Ithilgore.  Those are old customizations based on my system
configuration.  I think using the defaults would be better, even
though I do think "c:\Program Files" is an abomination compared to
"/bin".

So go ahead and use the defaults for your Ncrack installer, and please
change the Nmap Windows Makefile as well.
