Now if we could only find someone willing to:

1. Move all the code for handling file: and http: style URLs from
   fetch(1) into this library and change the API to be less FTP-centric.

2. Rename it to "libfetch" or something more suitably descriptive of its new
   abilities.

3. Make fetch(1) use the new library.

I'd also dive in and make pkg_add and sysinstall use it, bringing the
ability to use fetch(1)'s full repertoire of URL handling to those
tools as well.

Any takers out among our hacker population? :-)
