> ncftp can do that.

Hmmm.  I kinda wish we had something smaller! :-)

Whichever way we come up with for doing this, it HAS to go into the
tree, you see! :-( I can't very well bootstrap a port with ncftp if
there is no ncftp in the bindist, and DEPENDS doesn't quite do the
trick here..

For that matter, "gmake" would be pretty useful in the tree at this
point - so many things rely on it, and again it's a little annoying
having to put it in a ports' DEPENDS list since it's a little more
basic than that.  Nuke out a few games and superfluous apps, bring
genuinely useful things like gmake and ncftp in, I think we could
get away with a bindist of the same size but with greater utility..

For that matter, we got ripped in a german UNIX magazine because we
didn't have enough SHELLS available by default! :)
