Subject: Fetch *really* needs a man page!

We can't ship 2.1.5-RELEASE with ncftp gone and fetch totally
man-less, can we?  That would be terrible, since we'd be essentially
tossing a lot people at a new utility without giving them the
slightest idea of how to use it.  I do know that a lot of people use
ncftp right now, and if they're told that fetch is better (and I think
that it's at least more generally capable) then they'll switch, but
not without a man page! :-(

I also know that you probably didn't intend for this to go straight
into -stable the way it did, but it was either that or maintain two
different versions of bsd.port.mk (and the variant ports) and that
would have been truly annoying to the portsmeisters.

I *will* do this if nobody else does, but I'd really rather spend
my time trying to make sure nothing truly major slips through the
cracks. :-)

Thanks!
