I like this idea a lot.  How difficult would it be to better variablize 
the port?  What if I want to test against a non-standard port?  Is the 
answer to just modify the nasl script?  Ideally, it could be passed in 
on command line or nasl could accept the script on stdin so that I 
could massage the script on-the-fly, put it in a pipe, and smoke it.
