I'm still trying to get around or understand this and maybe it's time to
file a bug PR....

The man page of fetch(3), i.e. the used library for this, explains the
usage of some env vars:

FTP_LOGIN=3Danonymous export FTP_LOGIN
FTP_PASSWORD=3Dguru@sisis.de export FTP_PASSWORD

and if you set this and run:

$ fetch ftp://ftp.muc.de

you will see, that the values of the env vars are used, but only *after*
reading and getting EOF on stdin, i.e. if you run:

$ fetch ftp://ftp.muc.de < /dev/null

it works right away.

How this is supposed to work in automated scripts, like 'make install'?
