 That configure script also builds with ndiff, zenmap and nping, the same
 question could also be asked why they aren't in the requirements of this
 port. I think for me, I just want a default nmap package that I'd expect
 on a Linux distro. AFAIK, both CentOS and Ubuntu package nmap with lua by
 default. r147186 not only got rid of lua as a dep and not providing a
 variant for it, but also reenabled subversion as a default variant. I'm
 not sure what the reasoning for this change is. BTW, this Portfile
 violates Macport's coding standard. nmap has also gone on to 7.12 now.

 But that's not the default, and certainly not what this ticket was asking
 for.
