Rather than have a separate (misnamed) FTP_ANONYMOUS_PASSWORD constant, use
FTP_ANONYMOUS_USER (i.e. "anonymous") to construct the anonymous ftp password
if getlogin() fails.
and had libfetch selecting passive mode even when FTP_PASSIVE_MODE was not
set at all, which is really quite surprising unless you know about it. So
change it to the agreed default behaviour of selecting passive mode if
FTP_PASSIVE_MODE is set, but not "no".
- ftpTimeout was not honored when reading actual data, as opposed to
talking protocol
- connection caching was broken because _ftp_cached_connect() would see
the result of the transfer instead of the result of the NOOP.
- if the RETR succeeded, but an error occurred later (as can happen
when talking to a proxy), the error would not be detected.
There still remains to register an atexit(3) callback to close the cached
connection gracefully instead of just dropping it on the floor.
a bug in some ftp servers (most notably ftp.vmunix.com) which report the
size of a file correctly in ascii mode, but report it as 0 in binary mode.

Also remove an unneeded initialization.
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.

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

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:

http.c:
Remove code that is duplicated elsewhere.
Prompted by: jkh
- Fix the README to reflect the new status of the ftp code.
- Change tons of 'if (xxx < 0)' to 'if (xxx == -1)'
- Add two new interface functions
- Fix the Makefile so it actually works (yay!)
Now the manpage is lagging even further behind... :( Next on the todo
list is to clean up the http code.
