I like to just install nmap and use its ncat instead of having to
install a separate netcat package. But I also figure nmap's ncat has
features which other netcat implementations might not have. AFAIK other
netcat packages usually install the binary 'nc', which doesn't conflict
with nmap's ncat binary, so I'd just build it along. It's what other
distros do as well I believe. (At least Debian; I adopted the nmap,
ndiff, zenmap split from them.)
