[luau] RELEASE: NMapWin 1.2.4 released

[MonMotha]

nmap has been ported to NT, but not 9x as 9x doesn't have the needed raw 
sockets (though a port supporting full TCP connect mode scanning might 
be possible).  NT4 and Win2k will require administrator rights to use 
the raw sockets, same with XP Pro.  XP home allows anyone to use raw 
sockets (or so Gibson says; he made a huge fuss about it though so far 
it's turned out to be not a big deal, still time for it to become one 
though).
