Subject: FTP passive mode - a new default?

Unless I hear unanimous fierce outcry against it, I'm strongly
considering making FTP_PASSIVE_MODE obsolete by virtue of being the
default for all tools/libraries which currently examine it.
FTP_ACTIVE_MODE will be the new flag for toggling the previous
behavior.

Given the state of the Internet today, I think this is purely a
sensible change in defaults.  Comments?
