 * Argh.  The point the whole paragraph makes is that we're not talking
 * about *just* an environment variable and hence pkg_add and sysinstall
 * don't even really enter into this discussion.  It's just a "well known
 * knob" as far as that's concerned, and one which happens to work for
 * both of the above (or any other consumer of libfetch) if set in the
 * environment.

And fetch.

 * Well bugger!  It works for me too now!  Ehmmm.  I guess I should have
 * tried it lately. :-) All I can say to that is that I tried this back
 * in 2.2.7 days and it didn't behave as expected, but in 4.0, at least,
 * it certainly does.  Well nifty, I'm sorry to unfairly impugn the honor
 * of this code then.  I could have sworn I hadn't see any commits to the
 * login class code lately.  Hmmmmm!

Ok.  I believe that means people who are behind firewalls can set
FTP_PASSIVE_MODE in the environment (preferably in /etc/login.conf),
so that any of

  pkg_add
  sysinstall
  "make fetch" inside the ports tree
  calling "fetch" directly

work as expected.
