yes ;-)

Before branching we should have some consolidation:

* Get rid of the ENABLE_SAVE_KB makro. This conditional
   was used for the KB session saving feature when it was
   experimental. It is not experimental anymore but
   rather a important debugging feature.
   Also, the makro is used inconsistent and thus
   pretty uselsess anyway.

* migrate ssl_ciphers to use GnuTLS

* Move all shell scripts from the openvas-scanner/ to
   openvas-scanner/tools/

* Accompany the openvas-nvt-sync with the greenbone-nvt-sync
   script. The Greenbone scripts give an example of a different method
   of syncing and of course is GNU GPLv2+.
   Also, it will be easier for users who want to the use their
   OpenVAS installation with the Greenbone Security Feed if all
   necessary scripts are already installed.

After the branch I would also like to finally migrate the scanner module
to replace the autotools framework by cmake.

Best
