To use the dosio library fully, I also (duh!) have to retain full
...
use of stdio, I can't just go handing fileno(fp) around and expect
that to work. Since this means I need to have sysinstall play pipeline
on single file distributions now, that means I can also finally add a
progress indicator for them.
Change installation instructions to note that there's no dists directory
anymore on CDROMs.

Do a few things I've been threatening to do for a long time:
...
1. Don't use the MSDOSFS code for accessing FreeBSD distribution data.
Use Robert Nordier's stand-alone DOS I/O library for the purpose.
It this works as well as Robert says it does, it should drastically reduce
(or even eliminate) our "I can't install from my DOS partition!" calls.
2. As a result of the above, go to stdio file descriptors for all
media types.
3. Taking advantage of #2 , start using libftpio for FTP transfers instead
of maintaining our own parallel version of the FTP transfer code.
Yay! I ripped something out for a change!
