I am not in a position to make a whole lot of demands about what will be on
the system (I can't count on nmap being there or that the admin of the box
will be willing to install it)..  I will not have root on the system that the script
will be installed on, and I would like to make the integration work as easy
as possible by using "default" tools wherever possible.
