ftpfs eplf extension

ftpfs eplf extension

[Scott]

The ieft ftp working group has been talking about Dan Bernstein's
easily-parsed-list-format proposal (which can be found at
ftp://koobera.math.uic.edu/pub/docs/RFCEPLF).  I think it's a good
idea, so here's a patch to teach ftpfs to interpret it.  (The ftp site
listed above generates it, if you want an example.)

There are a couple of loose ends.  First, They're still talking about
what character encoding it should use.  The existing ftp spec
prescribes ascii.  Using utf-7 has been proposed to fit within that
constraint.  If they change it to be 8 bit clean then utf-8 could be
used.  We'd prefer that, of course, so this code just assumes that's
what will happen. :-)  Second, there have been suggestions for
communicating the file mode bits.  None of those have been implemented
here, so files are either 777 or 000.  Third, eplf communicates a
unique file identifier which could be used to help with cache
coherence, but isn't.

Enclosed is one new file, and patches to the ftpfs source
relative to the last update.
