Well, let's be fair.  Things like ncftp moved in because we needed
some sort of default ftp command that the installation framework could
COUNT ON to do unattended ftps.  The release framework doesn't have
provisions for dealing with pieces that need to be obtained from ports
or packages, so..  If somebody has a yen to HELP with the install
framework, trust me - we won't argue! :-)
