Thanks for the improvements Djalal!

I agree that the name isn't as relevant as it could be. I like the
name "targets-traceroute.nse" David suggested.

Concerning the target.add() feature, I faced a behavior I wasn't
expecting. If I try to add the current host.ip to the queue, it will
work once and then fail.
This is reproducible with the attached script and the command line :

# ./nmap --datadir . --script add-self -sP -v --script-args newtargets
scanme.insecure.org

Is this behavior expected? Am I missing something?
