fetchStat*(). In most cases, either fetchGet*() or fetchXGet*() is a wrapper
around the other; in all cases, calling fetchGet*() is identical to calling
fetchXGet*() with the second argument set to NULL.
* Add the 'h' ftp flag (allocate local port in high range)
* Add the 'd' flag (use direct connection even if proxy is defined)
* Make sure flags != NULL before calling strchr().
* Minor changes to some comments.
Brucify the Makefile.
Differentiate atime and mtime in fetch*Stat().
Fix a few pointer bugs.
Tweak some error messages.
Don't #include sys/param.h and stdio.h in fetch.h.
Document that sys/param.h and stdio.h must be #included before fetch.h.
This commit introduces the following features:
a) the fetchStat*() functions, which return meta-information for a
document, such as size, modification time, etc.
b) the use of the com_err(3) facilities to report errors.
It also fixes a bunch of style bugs and a few logic bugs and somewhat
improves the man page.
Changed files, in alphabetical order:
Makefile:
Don't generate macros in {ftp,http}err.c.
Generate category fields for the error message lists.
Compile the error table.
Install fetch_err.h along with fetch.h.
common.c:
Remove the _netdb_errstring() macro, and add FETCH_ERR_NETDB to the
error code in the _netdb_seterr() macro.
Add categories to the _netdb_errlist table.
Report errors through the Common Error library.
common.h:
Add the DEBUG macros.
Add prototype for fetchConnect().
Remove the prototype for _fetch_errstring(), which is local to common.c
Add a categroy field to struct fetcherr, and define constants for
error categories.

errors.et: (new file)
List error categories.
fetch.3:
Document the fetchStat*() functions.
Move the "unimplemented functionality" comments from NOTES to BUGS.
Document that applications which use libfetch must also use
libcom_err, and list existing error codes.
Undocument fetchLastErr{Code,String}.
Remove the (empty) DIAGNOSTICS section.
Mention Eugene Skepner in the AUTHORS section.
fetch.c:
Move the DEBUG macros to common.c
Add fetchStat() and fetchStatURL().
Generate error messages for URL parser errors, and fix a minor bug
in the parser.
Use 'struct url' instead of 'url_t'.
Remove fetchLastErr{Code,String}.
fetch.h:
Use 'struct url' instead of 'url_t', and remove the typedef.
Define struct url_stat (used by fetchStat()).
Add prototypes for fetchStat*().
Remove the declarations for fetchLastErr{Code,String}.
Include fetch_err.h.
fetch_err.et: (new file)
Error table for libfetch.
file.c:
Add fetchStatFile().
Use 'struct url' instead of 'url_t'.
ftp.c:
Add fetchStatFTP().
Use 'struct url' instead of 'url_t'.
Don't use fetchLastErrCode.
ftp.errors:
Add categories to all error messages.
http.c:
Add fetchStatHTTP().
Use 'struct url' instead of 'url_t'.
Don't use fetchLastErr{Code,Text}.
http.errors:
Add categories to all error messages.

Numerous sugestions from: Garett Wollman and Eugene Skepner
alphabetical order:
Makefile:
Add common.c to SRCS.
Make debugging easier by making 'CFLAGS += -DNDEBUG' conditional on DEBUG
Don't declare struct {ftp,http}err in {ftp,http}err.c; use struct fetcherr
instead.
README:
Remove the todo list, which is out of date anyway.
common.c: (new file)
Gather utility functions in this file.
Merge the error reporting functions intp _fetch_errstring(),
_fetch_seterr() and _fetch_syserr().
Set fetchLastErrCode and fetchLastErrText appropriately when fetchConnect
fails.
common.h: (new file)
Gather internal prototypes and structures in this files.
fetch.3:
Undocument fetchFreeURL().
Document a few more known bugs.
Document fetchLastErrCode and fetchLastErrText.
fetch.c:
Add descriptive comments to all functions that lacked them.
Move fetchConnect() to common.c.
Obviate the need for fetchFreeURL(), and remove it.
fetch.h:
Modify struct url_t so the document part is at the end.
ftp.c:
Remove code that is duplicated elsewhere.
http.c:
Remove code that is duplicated elsewhere.
