 * There is no support for getting the reply from the ftp server in ftp.c
 * Of course this can be easily added, but this mean that we are going to
 * rewrite another ftp program :-)

Well I think that's ok, as long as we don't be too fancy and start
breaking things.  At some point, we should merge this back into
Jordan's release stuff though.

 * There are 2 ports which set the -P flag, but this option is not
 * supported by the current version of ncftp.

What do you mean by "current"?  The -current ncftp does understand -P, 
and ncftp2 doesn't but that's not what most of the ports are using....
