Gioacchino's status report #8 of 17

Hi!

This week I had an interesting meeting with my mentor then I have been working 
on #51 (ipv6 support for mass reverse dns in nmap) I have already implemented 
the sending part and now I am working hard on the reply parsing, nmap_dns code 
was quite messy in my opinion and I am generalizing it and using some C++98 
sugar to make it more readable (C++11 sugar would be even better but from what 
I have understood is still not accepted in Nmap) at the end of the work I do 
expect to have this code easy to extend and we could use mass dns even on 
normal queries but atm I am not planning to implement it, as usual you can see 
my progress on my sandbox in the appropriated branch although as this is a big 
refactoring I have lot of incomplete changes that breaks things not committed 
yet, but having them completed, committed and RFC at least on my git sandbox 
is the priority for this week.

Cheers :)
