 Setting FTP_PROXY to host:port gives you fetch's traditional behavior
 of contacting an FTP proxy to fetch the file.  Setting FTP_PROXY to ""
 goes directly no matter what.  Unsetting FTP_PROXY uses HTTP_PROXY if
 it's set or goes directly if not.
 
 I share Dave's amazement that there's so much brouhaha over this
 straightforward change.
