Cool, can you give scott a list of dependencies? I still can't make it go
with what I have installed now.

Does it need libnet and stuff?

Scott: These should be Recomends
Manoj: I wish it would error out nicer, a single 'E' line would be ideal
if it's bits are missing.

I do not want to make ftp part of the core if it has any perl
dependencies, it makes it much harder for people to install on strange
systems.

Should http get a man page?

Hm, the log file stuff, but we don't even have log files yet..

Scott, can you put out a .9 ?
