I've only put the report text in a GtkTextBuffer+GtkTextView, but
didn't touch the other lists. But as we're using GTK2 now, of course
they can be replaced with GtkListView (+Model, +Store).

To categorize different hosts you can use scopes now. With my last
two patches for nessusd to this list you can use user rules to
exclude servers from a subnet scan, so they don't appear in the
workstation scope.
