Dag-Erling Smørgrav ecc9135299 Commit a bunch of patches that have been accumulating: 
- 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.

README 

This is the new fetch(3) library, which is to replace the ftpio(3)
library and provide a new, unified backend for all fetch(1),
pkg_add(1) and sysinstall(8).

Note that this is very much work in progress. It compiles (with a few
warnings), but there is much left to be implemented. Amongst other
items:

  * The man page needs work. Really. I mean it. Now.

  * HTTP authentication doesn't work. I'm not sure if I bungled http.c
    or fubared base64.c (which was ripped from MIT fetch(1)).

  * The library needs a decent interface for reporting errors. I've
    started on something (sending back an error code in the url_t that
    was sent in) but we're Not There (tm) yet.

Comments, patches etc. of all kinds are welcome, but please don't
commit anything without talking to me first.
