can return UNIX errnos. When UNIX errnos catch up with FTP status
codes (e.g. at 100) a new way will have to be found to tell which
is which.
This allows fetch to print errors like
fetch: ftp.fu-berlin.de: No route to host
instead of
fetch: ftp.fu-berlin.de: Unknown error
nuked file descriptor. This is probably why sysinstall's ftp xfer
occasionally SEGV'd if you left things alone for a long time and
the timeout code got called. Whoops!
plain 0 should be used. This happens to work because we #define
NULL to 0, but is stylistically wrong and can cause problems
for people trying to port bits of code to other environments.

the handler with SA_RESTART set, so the system calls I wanted to have the
timeout effect will just restart instead (which is NOT what I wanted).
Sheepishly use sigaction() like a good boy and make timeouts actually do
something.
Also pass errors out more effectively so that fetch(1) actually understands
what went wrong.
This will make a number of things easier in the future, as well as (finally!)
avoiding the Id-smashing problem which has plagued developers for so long.
Boy, I'm glad we're not using sup anymore. This update would have been
insane otherwise.
FTP error return code because
1) They return NULL, it means that ftpErrno can't be used because
it takes file pointer
2) They don't have FILE-type argument as f.e. ftpGet/ftpPut to use
it for ftpErrno instead.
For that functions I add yet one int* type argument to store
FTP error return code. It is impossible to add some global variable
for that reason, because user can have multiply FTP connections
opened at the same time.
So, interface changed, major number bumped.
Userland changes will follows.
Minor bugfixes, the code:
Forget to close file in few places, when failure occurse
Forget to NULL cached host name, multiply free is possible
Major version bumped (by me) since the ftpGet() public interface has
changed (an "int *" becomes and "off_t *")

2. Remove pkg_* support - tcl7.5's channel interface has rendered this
almost entirely unsupportable (at least in the way it currently stands).

This will do as a stop-gap until I figure out a more fault-tolerant
way of having deferred closes against the control connection work
without blocking.
from jmz was a hopeless kludge (sorry Jean-Marc :) and handled the problem
in the wrong way. ftpRestart() has now gone away and ftpGet() has grown a
new parameter.
