NASL2 (nessus 2.0?) requests
I just started testing nessus 1.3.4, and thanks Michel and Renaud.

Great job. finished one scan that took 3 hours to do in 2 hours.

It enabled some dependencies that I have not seen enabled before, and
these dependencies in turn created a much larger nbe than before.
I would like to request a function that can be tested inside the nasl so
that I know if this plugin was enabled by me or by dependencie.
if(autoenabled()) {
Do things different? output report different?)
}

Would also request a new flag[s] in prefs or scan prefs.

maybe save_kb_information_from_auto_enable
(to keep the kb/sql files clean?)
and
report_auto_enabled
to keep the reports clean.

We could NOT enable things like smb_login or netbios stuff, have it
autonabled (so the plugins can run) but not full the report up with
things that we don't need/care to see.

Example: findservices2 and unknown
services enables dcetest.nasl

dectest.nasl enumerates (and enters into the nbe/html report) lots of
lines that weren't there before.
