It probably won't surprise you that I vote +1 on this one. :)

I think there are a few more issues we should discuss:

- How will the server admin be able to switch on/off individual
  subdirectories? Should this happen in the server configuration file?

- Should the selection be communicated to the client? And if so, in
  which way?

- You suggested "grammar to include new directives" for the NASL
  subsystem, is this necessary? Should NVTs be aware that they are in a
  different subdirectory?

Stjepan, maybe you could post your thoughts on these issues.  Comments
from others are welcome too of course. :)

Regards,

Michael
